lyrics

Cave canem—
beware of the dog,
keep your head above water
and stay the hell off my lawn.
Take comfort
in the image left alone.
Throw a fresh coat of paint on the courthouse
to get someone with some gusto on the phone.

And let ‘em know about the folks outside
with the torches and the pitchforks and the signs
of a better way to live than most amount to
and reports of mass revolt and rising tides.

I think today might be a good day for the neighbors
to keep their cat inside.

Cave canem—
but I’ve been a good boy.
Every now and then attempt to keep my nose clean,
hold my conscience close and void the hoi polloi.
Day breaks, but I’m still tired.
The universal sun spits plumes of fire,
parasitic on particulars— the bastard sons of holy wars
the war machines and overlords
and all the other angels in the choir.

Just what have we inherited?
I’ll try to get a grip on it,
but I wouldn’t dare to reconcile.
With politics from sovereign pricks
who act like they don’t give a shit—
If we ever hope to undermine the colony,
We’ve got to organize and smash it from inside.

I think today might be a good day for the neighbors,
for the colonizers and the enslavers..
I think today might be a good day to beware of the dog.
