Dry drunk on a corner                                                   F
Wet waste of a girl                                                     I

Play you a death-song
You probably listen                                                     S
Stand idly by as they rape your children                                O
Like you do now                                                         N
In fact you showed them how                                             G

All thoughts are in place                                               O
All deeds are complete                                                  O

Die sweet prince
Meat tastes like mince
The jackal's eaten enough for today
                                                                        T
Die sweet prince                                                        H
Meat tastes like shit                                                   E
Enough to make that jackal spit
                                                                        M
Spit jackal spit                                                        I
                                                                        S
Spit and choke on the lives you've taken                                F
You can't shake them loose                                              I
                                                                        T
All morsels are gone, they're too small                                 S
Accessible from a source so tall
Little sister all of my love                                            S
                                                                        O
Bitch                                                                   N
Bitch, she is                                                           G
Cut her from the inside out                                             B
                                                                        O
Dead daughter in the river                                              O
Entrance gained by her liver                                            K

They play you a death-song
You probably listen
Stand idly by as they rape your children                                T
Like you do now                                                         H
In fact you showed them how                                             E
