 DIES IRAE


Souls sold for half of what they're worth
Over-population across the earth
Fourteen year-olds giving birth
Even angels must get the blues...



Children carrying guns every day
"Christ In Urine" on display
Can't pray at your school today
Blood dripping from the Daily News...



Another world war an even bet
Debt piling up on top of debt
Rich banker shows no mercy yet
Men in suits tighten the screws...



Dignity walked out the door
Honesty fell to the floor
And money doesn't talk, it roars
There's nothing much left to lose...



Those working hardest make the least
Low salaries from the corporate beast
Sun now going down from west to east
Preacher has holes in his shoes...



No one bothers to marry anymore
Drug dealers go in and out their door
While little children sleep on the floor
Parents riddled with stupidity haven't a clue...



Monsters walk the streets at night
Young girls sell sex at every streetlight
None of them taught wrong from right
Child molesters look for kids to abuse...



All the rainbow colors turned to black
Country's remaining morals under attack
Going no direction, completely off track
Yes, I believe even angels sing the blues...






I do not wish to offend.  The "Christ In
Urine" was an actual exhibit that was
Declared "free speech" by the courts.
It was shown by Robert Maplethorpe....

Surely an angel or two shed a tear at this
effrontery....
