adam smith's famous plantation

lyrics

everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal,
everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal.

flashlighted onto lit street full of lights,
blistering blisters in bloodclots of cisterns
with two dead sisters eating each other's heads.
where the grave meets the dollar
and the euro meets the market
you'll meet the walking dead.

everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal,
everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal.

every bum a burned ID,
new trad rad, rub-off tattoo sleeves,
but a palestine rock fr political seige
and tarmac dreams.
gimme smallpox covers
and i'll run for cover
and rinse off my tattoo sleeves.

everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal,
everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal.

things are getting scary,
know this to know that,
things have always been scary,
halloween in the american horrorshow,
a nation-mansion with fake blood
shipments of paperweights made of snow,
the so-called masses think they got bread
but it's a hoax.
enough terror to fill our plastic food.

everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal,
everyone an achilles heel
every anti-idealist an ideal.
