Godspeed You! Black Emperor


All come up out of the blue
When you ended up on the national news,
And they told me where I could find you,
They told-me-where-you-live and what I should do.

They told me about diseases,
And told me I should cut you in a pieces,
And told me that you were not true,
And told me they would redistribute you.

Sold your eyes to a good will,
They drank you 'til they had their fill,
And they sold your teeth at a flea market,
Showed your skin at the target.

They made the Earth from your bones,
And they put your brains into phones,
And they turned you into quite a profit,
AND HID THE REST IN MY CLOSET.
