GUILLOTINE
112519

v1
You rich bastards better get to Mars quick
Last night chased 1 down a red carpet
He got to his parked smart car first, dipped widda head start
SHIT so I hit the gas to get fast to pry-vitt air strip
Guards there said “stop,” — they got hearts SPLIT
I caught up to dude, tackled his ankles just a yardstick
from entrance (of) his rich friends’ spaceship,
doors closed (shoomp -- bchhh) Liftoff --
afterburn charred my lips.
“Get martyred here with the rest-of-us”
I said to his neck-stub-as it turned scarlett
Inna distance, airship looked size a parsnip
Time for da bazooka. I’m a line producer.
Get a grip
Skip out onna planet?
S’Gonna be a hard trip

vX
We go all the way And call it a holiday
bring justice to busters we all obeyed
Fix the head, Hoist the rope, let fall the blade
Guillotine

chorus
For trust betrayed, the rusty blade
GUILLOTINE
When they go low, we bury them
GUILLOTINE
The oral tradition is a war of attrition
GUILLOTINE
Spread the wealth or your entrails
GUILLOTINE

v2
I could use a good cry
It’s like i got a wooden eye with a backed up flood inside
I been holdin back tears since before I was born
War is performed wherever foes chose from their order forms
Your new barracks are actually former dorms
Lookin for something? Colder... warmer — mourn!!
Whither thy wisecracks?
Carry a cry mask and dry flask
I ask, ‘you want me to die?’ fine.
We not gonna die last.

For trust betrayed, the rusty blade

chorus
For trust betrayed, the rusty blade
GUILLOTINE
When they go low, we bury them
GUILLOTINE
The oral tradition is a war of attrition
GUILLOTINE
Spread the wealth or your entrails
GUILLOTINE

ruff v3
We in a gilded age filled wid rage
build the stage for the GUILLOTINE

Fix the head, Hoist the rope, let fall the blade

GUILLOTINE

Too sharp for even a feeble scream
People fiend for meaning, not keeping peep holes clean
That's not freedom: you're just bein' mean!
Send you back to the pliocene
It's like we woke up from a fever dream
