Hometown Blues

In a state of corruption

It will beg for destruction

A violence so true that no one can subdue

In the eyes of the father

Its faith will devour

The monster within always slated to win

Raise the flag & ring alarms

Hold me in your fire-arms

A bullet designed with your flesh in mind

Shield your eyes then ostracize

A mental state you’ll demonize

A bullet or two will be aiming at truth

What will you do when it’s coming for you?

A disease of such rarity

Eats away at the clarity

Nothing to lose or good paths it can choose

Soon you all will see

The flaws of society

There’s nowhere to run when it’s holding the gun

Raise the flag & ring alarms

Hold me in your fire-arms

A bullet designed with your flesh in mind

Shield your eyes then ostracize

A mental state you’ll demonize

A bullet or two will be aiming at truth

What will you do when it’s aiming at you?
