THE DESERTER’S LAMENT

They calm my mind with jackboots

They carve my name in chalk

They punch my name in brail

They drape the Lie in mink

This is the deserter’s lament

Let Heaven rise up from dissent

Pass the bread & cheese

& pass the brown ale, too

Later I’ll stumble down that alley

Blind in some fancy pin-striped suit

This is the deserter’s lament

A life between hope and regret

They oil my tongue with acid

They stuff my mouth with ash

They soothe the Beast with Muzak

Then bind the wound with cash

This is the deserter’s lament

Where the rider is the intent

Just come keep me warm

Come keep me warm tonight

Before you walk down any aisle

And look like any bride

This is the deserter’s lament

Small change and a broken dialect

I'm just one of the Dregs of Society from South Bunyip Valley Heights

In an expanding universe, time is on the side of the outcast. Those who once

inhabited the suburbs of human contempt find that without changing their

address they eventually live in the metropolis. Quentin Crisp

They put Johnny and Bobby in the ground

Then the place was run by shucks and clowns

Motherfuckers are still thick on the ground

Coz there’s a new God – There’s a new God in town.
