In The Venal Colony
They took me alive
My barrel empty
In the venal colony
Mine was a life of rant and ravery
Up my ass though
I hid one bullet
And laughed
When my friends gave me a mullet
Etched on one side
The text
To Left Wing Communism
An Infantile Disorder
On the other
Basic instructions
For running A United Front
People called me anal
But I was trying to make a diamond
While my lover watched
Peter Kay
And Everyone Loves Raymond
I swore myself off revolution
But still played my part in the solution
I swore myself off violence
But not to silence
Or darkness
I fired my bullet in the sky
Like a flare
To show just how much I dared
And cared
