the motor buzzes in the basement   behind a curtain   behind a wall   upstairs the crowds have all gathered to see   how they can make money off tragedy   police police me   it's so easy   heads hover above podiums and,   nobody understands that they don't stand a chance   the glow of this show is alarmingly charming   the stars are all smiling   it's disarming   police police me   and all the while   we're waiting   for something like a sign   from the hole of lost control   from our overmade minds   come on go   goodnight bloodsuckers   sleep tight in your traps   the cheapest trash gets bought so fast   the cops and the criminals   the safe and the stray   they all mix in the ditches anyway   police police me
