some lyrics to an Acid Black Girls song:

"A Brief History of Iniquity"

I shot a man in reno,
but tied his veins up first
I think about her less and less
as the days get worse

there was something on my brain
another song stuck in my head
take your father's drugs today
in a hundred years we'll all be dead

gramma talked in tongues
and grampa danced with rattlesnakes in his hands
the pentecost is alive and well
and living in the promised land

another year, another week,
another day I'll taste the serpents kiss
somehow I never try,
but it always ends up like this
always ends up like this
always ends

I'm the scion of the promised land (4X)

I snorted crank in luxembourg
and woke up in her bed
there's a stretch of road in wyoming
where the blacktop has turned red

I'm a man without a cigarette
then i'm a man without a lung
I'm a man who never met a woman
that I couldn't get to come
couldn't get to come
couldn't get

The gods of filth and ignorance
take their sacrifices here
you're the children of iniquity
a consequence of fear

all songs are lazy machines
and this one's lazier than most
no one listens to the words anyway
i sing for hank williams' ghost
sing for hank williams ghost
sing for hank

refrain

hey little girl,
is that your boyfriend?
I've got pieces of guys like him stuck between my teeth

hey little girl
i bet you'd look damn good
stark naked tangled up in my bedsheets

didn't i see you last week
at the graceland
shakin' your ass for the angels of light?

Michael Gira might not waste his time on you
but if you
come over here, i just might
come over here, and i just might
come over here, and i just might

refrain

end.

lyrics, poetry
