Ghetto Defendant lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Ghetto Defendant lyrics [/ - Allen Ginsberg lyrics] / do the worm on the accropolis / slamdance the cosmopolis / enlighten the populace hungry darkness of living who will thirst in the pit? / hooked in metropolis she spent a lifetime deciding how to run from it / addicts of metropolis once fate had a witness and the years seemed like friends / girlfriends her babies can dream but dreams begin like the end / shot into eternity / methadone kitty / iron serenity ghetto defendant it is heroin pity not tear gas nor baton charge that stops you taking the city / strung out committee walled out of the city clubbed down from uptown sprayed pest from the nest run out to barrio town /the guards are itchy forced to watch at the feast then sweep up the night flipped pieces of coin / broken bottles exchanged for birthright / grafted in a jiffy / strung out committee / sitting pretty / graphed in a jiffy / no pity, pretty the ghetto prince of gutter poets was bounced out of the room / jean arthur rimbaud by the bodyguards of greed for disturbing the tomb / 1873 his words like flamethrowers / paris commune burnt the ghettos in their chests his face was painted whiter and he was laid to rest / died in marseille / buried in charleville / shut up soap floods oil in water all churn in the wake on the great ship of progress the crew can t find the brake klaxons are blaring the admiral snores command submarines boil in oceans while the armies fight with suns song lyrics
