The theory killer
Further education?
no trial
just tribulation,
I'm jumping out
at the
next station
I'll call when I get home.
The underwriter
is underwriting
I want to let a little light in
because the
dark night creeps me out.
They want to insure the poor against poverty
sell them
a fifty shilling policy
who can afford to be insured against
poverty?
In the gutter the camera shutter goes click
it's
poverty tourists getting their rocks off by
watching the poor going out of their minds,
I know rich men who are poor and
poor men who are richer
and which one are you?
