Lyrics Poison (1970) - MC5

Poison (1970)

The partisans not the artisans
Are doing their dirty show
But i ripped my pants
Doing some dance
That i learned in France
And they think there ain’t
Nothin' to know
Used, abused
Locked up, beaten and fined
But i got free
Copped a plea
And i can see
That there ain’t no freedom
Bell gonna chime
This time
Truth and love
Are my law and worship
Form and conscience
My manifestation and guide
Nature and peace are
My shelter and companion
Order is my attitude
Beauty and perfection
Are my attack
False faces
Fast company
A night of thrills
With no jealousy, no poison
Nobody’s tool
Will be a public fool
To manipulate the masses
Who lie and cheat
And eat their meat
And think it’s sweet
While the rest all clean their glasses
In status classes
