Debt
The bank said you owe us money Oh you don’t have money? You owe us property then Oh you don’t have property? You owe us your body then Oh you don’t have a body? Don’t lie We see your body We’re about to steal your body We’re about to sell your body on the internet We’ll take a naked picture of your body We’ll take a naked picture of your body crawling into a fire place and sell it on the internet Oh you don’t need water? Your parents taught you not to drink water? Then you can pay the fine and inject yourself with a little tuberculosis
I broke when the thunder god spoke I took out my Glock and shot the rock I killed the mountain with my teeth I crawled into the school when they bombed it I threw myself in front of a child who was about to be shot I became an oligarch zombie child with snakes in my mouth I was as luscious as an overfed priest I was a communist in a really nice car I wore beautiful shoes and the bankers bit off my toes
The zombie-interrogators said where are you from and I said the deep south Near Patagonia Near the block of ice where the dead children recite the abcs of zombie capitalism Eating and vomiting Eating and shitting Eating and sleeping Eating and crying
The debt war started in the mountains Moved to the sea Wound its way through the desert Curved into the city Shot into space Sent poltergeists through the internet Bored us Moved us Smoked us Bulldozed us Birthed us Gave us language Killed our desires Depleted our portfolios Put us to work in tunnels and coal mines Harbored us in cornfields Zombied us with nervous breakdowns Sent us into contaminated mines with no masks Cloned us for a reasonable fee Raised us for a reasonable fee Taught us to levitate for a reasonable fee Fed us for a reasonable fee Gave us lung disease for a reasonable fee Treated the lung disease for a reasonable fee Treated the side effects from the medication for the lung disease for a reasonable fee Depleted our immune systems for a reasonable fee
Bore the interest on our capital always for a reasonable fee
