With great lawyers you have discussed lepers and crooks, you've been through all of F. Scott Fitzgerald's books.

Well the book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy, the law of the jungle and the sea are your only teachers.

He did ten years in Attica, reading Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich.

The rifleman's stalking the sick and the lame, preacherman seeks the same, who'll get there first is uncertain.
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, my toes to numb to step, wait only for my boot heels to be wandering.
Mama's in the factory, she ain't got no shoes. Daddy's in the alley, he's looking for food.
