| When I saw his face and I was a believer
|
| It was the automatic rifles
|
| The Nintendos and the Segas
|
| And the half a dozen dead disciples
|
| He claimed to be the son of God
|
| But like many a fruitcake before him
|
| Maybe he really was
|
| And meanwhile a black Maria
|
| Leaves the hallowed halls of justice
|
| Under a hail of phlegm and fire
|
| From the assembled vigil-aunties and uncles
|
| Hot Dogs !
|
| Ices !
|
| Mid day crisis !
|
| Ippa dippa dation no operation
|
| Too many people at the station
|
| Me rest of life’s fall-out patients
|
| Who wake up every morning smiling
|
| Stretching, yawning, breakfast-timing
|
| Cut in slices, toasted brown
|
| When the mid day crisis comes around
|
| And no, I don’t want to see your leaflets
|
| I lost my faith with my taste for sausages and
|
| Hot dogs !
|
| Ices !
|
| Mid day crisis ! |
