Abuse Lyrics - Clark Anne

We shall come 

with all our wealth 

and our vulgarity 

into yout land 

carving deep wounds 

in our wake 

planting the sharped-edged dreen seed 

of money 

deep into your hands 

and as you grasp 

gasping 

you will thank us 

as it takes root 

growing and entangling itself 

around your simple naive lives 

it will placate you 

We shall come 

hard and fast 

into your under-developed 

un-exploited little world 

tearing away the soil 

beneath your feet where you stand 

scattering the broken gifts it offers up 

all around us 

digging the foundations of our own image 

into the raw core belly of the earth 

send spiralling monuments 

to our glorious achievements 

into the heavy leaden sky 

you will watch from the horizon 

imprisoned by your own pleasures 

bound by the material chains 

we will supply 

and when we have turned 

one side oft he world's face 

from the sun into the blackness 

the other will then burn 

under the slap of our greed.
