GILT - Black and Blue

from I Have a Mouth and I Must Scream by Moki Tapes

/

lyrics

You get told to respect the man who did this to you
Protecting you from yourself, he’s only doing his job
You get told to respect the man who did this to you
But it’s never enough to make him stop


The idea of a straight and narrow path
Was carved into an otherwise unmarked stretch of land
“In God We Trust” was an afterthought
Cause faith is a process, but money changes hands
(Money changes hands)
Besides, it took some time for the blue paint on the eyes to dry
Contacts sold separately


And sometimes it gets so frequent
That the bruises overlap and blur
And I’m caught between forgetting so I can rest
And remembering how it hurt
And sometimes it gets so frequent
That the bruises overlap and blur
And I guess you’re ‘colorblind’ so you don’t see it
Cause if you did it’d be worse
They’re debating what King said
While I’m still trying to bury the dead
