Misnomer

Jagged Line (Denial)

Misnomer


beware of the dispossessed 
the underbelly of this world's success 
built to survive the best 
you throw at them from your jagged line 

forget the needs of others 
protect me and mine 
the ones paying taxes on the taxes 
of the money you stole 

with the one hand that you take 
occasionally bestow 
processed sympathy 
automatic and recyclable 
a penny for the poor 
makes your bullshit more likeable 

moderate violence screened on CNN 
all part of the plan all a means to an end 
the truth behind the lies gets wrapped in cotton wool 
delivered through a drip hardly leaking through 
like a game of chinese whispers twisted and contorted 
depending on your baggage from source to source distorted 

no grey areas no struggle no fight 
casual persuasion makes a whore of our rights 

the loss of opinion 
we're turning 
they're spinning 

you sense the jagged line 
no more, 
denial. 

the answers are hidden 
their record 
unbeaten 

you sense the jagged line 
no more, 
reprisal. 

denial.
