Letra de Cave Canem

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
