[/ - Allen Ginsberg lyrics]
    / do the worm on the accropolis
  / slamdance the cosmopolis
  / enlighten the populace
    hungry darkness of living
  who will thirst in the pit?
  / hooked in metropolis
  she spent a lifetime deciding
  how to run from it
  / addicts of metropolis
  once fate had a witness
  and the years seemed like friends
  / girlfriends
  her babies can dream
  but dreams begin like the end
  / shot into eternity
  / methadone kitty
  / iron serenity
    ghetto defendant
  it is heroin pity
  not tear gas nor baton charge
  that stops you taking the city
    / strung out committee
  walled out of the city
  clubbed down from uptown
  sprayed pest from the nest
  run out to barrio town
  /the guards are itchy
  forced to watch at the feast
  then sweep up the night
  flipped pieces of coin
  / broken bottles
  exchanged for birthright
  / grafted in a jiffy
    / strung out committee
  / sitting pretty
  / graphed in a jiffy
  / no pity, pretty
    the ghetto prince of gutter poets
  was bounced out of the room
  / jean arthur rimbaud
  by the bodyguards of greed
  for disturbing the tomb
  / 1873
  his words like flamethrowers
  / paris commune
  burnt the ghettos in their chests
  his face was painted whiter
  and he was laid to rest
  / died in marseille
  / buried in charleville
  / shut up
    soap floods oil in water
  all churn in the wake
  on the great ship of progress
  the crew can't find the brake
  klaxons are blaring
  the admiral snores command
  submarines boil in oceans
  while the armies fight with suns
