Beg?


Don’t send that email to your mum just yet
She might not understand what we’ve been through
Or care about the true cause of our debt
When she herself has many problems too.
Perhaps it’s better for us to pretend
That all is fine and that we can afford
To live without the money she might lend
If our electronic begging strikes a chord?
For must we not each face life on our own
And try to make ends meet when fortune shrugs?
Perhaps I should take back my mobile phone
Or maybe we can give up drink and drugs?
But let's not ask your mum, who’s such a snob
She’ll probably just suggest I find a job.

Crown of Sin (1/7 Wrath)


Let’s contemplate, and weave a crown of sin
And for this task let Anger kick us off
Why is it bad if my blood should begin
To boil and fill my soul with burning Wrath?
When shitty modern life drives me insane
And nothing in the world seems to make sense
How can I clear a space inside my brain
Or relax when the pressure’s most intense?
I hit the kids when I’m pissed off, so what?
I swear at cunts who cut me up in cars
Love and peace man, they mean diddley-swat
I like to get in fights at night in bars
‘Cause Anger can be power and I trust
That Wrath is no more sinning than is Lust
