On The Hook

A dead?silver spoon with needles in his?skin
Rode a?pale horse?down?from Afghanistan
Tears?in the suburbs,?mothers praying for?their?damned
Death has?crept?into?their?zone?of?the promised landBut?just?before?each?plague
The?clearest prophecies
Pandora's box?in backwoods pharmacies
A?contract?to diePrescription?for?a homicide
A?generation on?the?hook
Addicted and commodified
Prescription for?a?homicideNarcotic economics?for?the?miner’s sons
The seams?went?bust so long?ago?with?nowhere?else to turn
Strip mine the?veins,?drill the abscess?dry
Incentives?for the architects of their genocideWe've seen this all before
In a different shade
The Dark Alliance shifts to the modern age
A contract to diePrescription for a homicide
A generation on the hook
Addicted and commodified
Prescription for a homicide
Prescription for a homicide
They're never worth a second look
Addicted and commodified
Your prescription for a homicideA contract to die
A contract to die
A contract to die
A contract to die
Die, die, die, dieHippocratic hypocrites
Breaking oaths and cashing checks
Wrote an ocean’s worth of ink
Scripting a nation's disease
A systematic business plan
To broker death, increase demand
So flood the ghetto and starve the hills
Kill them all with crack and pillsKill them all
Kill them all(Vietnam, Iran-Contra, Park Avenue, OxyContin)
