ah, hell, it's only the most famous crux in all of
literature, was just blowing smoke from my basement room,
don't need no Milton controversy here, got too many Well,
the rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame, Preacherman
seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain,
Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks,
Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain,
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
