I relish discourse
With sophisticated people
Displaying the mildest
Manifestations of evil
At ease with the etiquette
Of overt propriety
Which is, of course, the mark
Of well groomed society
Intellectual debates
We stand on ceremony
Impressive mates
Advantageous matrimony
But seething in me; another soul
Against this bars of this cage it rails
Wild eyed violence is its toll
Taboo drugs and nameless tail
A man in a jacket
An expensive tie
Chair leg in his left hand
A cut under his right eye
From the railroad
Into the pub
Girls who look like they'll fuck
And the ones that use drugs
Maybe a rider
For my next caper
A tough little child
Who won't fear I might rape her
Wife at home
A home that's cushy
But enough dope and cash
Fistfights and pussy
Just a taste
And I need more
Robbing shooting galleries
And partying with whores
The world looks down
And sees a life fucked
A violent clown
About to self destruct
A team of lawyers
After the cops come and get me
But I was so fucking close
I almost felt free
