Apocalypse 1997 - Gama Bomb

Livid hands wring rinds of joy from future dwelling life

A ghost of family in every home as society spirals from the light

Patrolling black belly pigs brand identity codes into searing flesh

Reconfigure binary to bring down enemy jets

I robot, resisting arrest

Stamping boot that keeps us oppressed

Apocalypse!

Who’d have thunk

Humanity!

The boat has sunk

Life waiting in line for a virus scan

Your own child will denounce you for having soft hands

Depredations, interrogations where intruder alarms will scream

They’re watching you, so smash the screen then shoot to kill — you know what I

mean?

Searching scope that snipes at hope

Ramming injustice home

They’ve washed your mouth out with poison soap

You will report to the justice zone

Can it be there was a time when men and women laid together with the sun upon

their skin?

It’s just a crime beyond comparison now in a world where thought is sin

Alternate history of a future past where orthodoxy is the law

If you are a man, you are the last, now a victim to the saw

Spotlights scan the rubble sites were the pigs unleash the hounds

To fall in love is the final crime and will bring the truncheon down
