The Killing Joke, Part One

from Garbage by Stephen Harper

/

lyrics

Junkie shot up in a stall
Filth overflowing from toilet bowls
Dirty hands and dirty souls
Limping through hell's halls
Choked by pollutants
And ungrateful witches

Held back by the badge
Stabbing into my heart
Dripping on the tile
City walks defiled
I give her everything
I give it all

Nothing's good enough for a broken jaw
Kept locked alone in cuffs
Skin flakes, rubbed raw

Cracked, stalled breathing
Purple marks around the neck
Distinguished from the violet face
Eyes removed from the source
Embarrassment or remorse?
Witness to the darkest soul
Motive is still unclear
But to fill the graves with fear
The method is but the same
It's all connected
Fingers like a fucking noose
Crawling across the walls
Pursuing the devil, I'm the clergy
To exorcise my metropolis
To take back control of what is mine
To put the pigs back in line
