Skinny Puppy

(not much need) distraught wake up in sweat
something is very different no water hot or cold walk out in the street
greet the morning gun battles needless no need to understand in
a foreign land with gun in hand killing is respected a way of showing
faith in a country's need to exercise death penalities where were you
now in the chair to burn twenty years ago killing red in nam who
is worse when war is far away not much for sympathy a number count
of casualties return so burned with nothing left to learn murder now invigorates
the unwashed bloody hands kill again let the family burn
do little to comfort anguishing no decision could ever warrant
