lyrics

as we zigzag beneath the sea torpedos aimed at you and me
we forge ahead but cannot see that things to come are not to be

His fist an ugly claw coming down on her face Like a hammer
He was a cop And she was a piece of trash He found in the slammer
When her body was found Between some rocks in the river
There was relief that she was just a whoreI
it is only the old who die from this infection
They are going to die soon anyway
So its a waste to wallow in useless attention
On something that kills only one percent

They were just some random colored kids
Who were killed in a teenage gang war in south central
Twice as many killed as the gangsters in the Saint Valentines day massacre
They still talk about that valentine
Like it was the greatest tragedy in the history of Chicago
while page 12 of the LA Times ran one forgotten paragraph on South Central

Its a black thing see, so the whites dont worry
Theyve got fences to keep this kind of shit at bay
Its a waste to wallow in useless attention
On anythng that doesnt affect us personally

It is safe here on ths cruise ship in the middle of the blue
200 miles away from anything Living like the rich folks do
But they found a woman in her cabin who died in the middle of the night
And by the time they came to port there were a dozen more who died
Stiill these fools engage in the spreading of contagion
contagion of the body and the mind
And when you see the fusion of perception and confusion
You are looking at the future of mankind
