Reprobates Resume

Blessed be the doctor and blessed be the nurse.
Blessed be the coachman who put me in the hearse.
Blessed be the blessings and blessed be the curse.

Rattled from the sediment
Old bones around the settlement.
Tell who passed out the medicine
The dose was much too strong.

He goes to bed bereft and berated
and rests his head in the hands of the over rated.
Sweating bullets in the faculty lounge,
sensing treason they're not waiting around;
On the first bus out of town
they're playing movies that they've already seen.

The jewelry advances as the gums recede,
the devil goes out dancing on the angels perceived needs, please go easy on me.

Cheap sex with a discount broker-
Cop's walkie-talkie squawks breaker-breaker,
"We got to take her down to the station
she says that that broker broke her."

Read the text at the ticker tape parade-
The subtext is that someone's getting paid off.
Check the checks at the ticker tape parade-
Pay stubs of the people who've been laid off.

Insurance can't cover what the world's exposed-
Open nerves. Touching toes to stretch,
the A.C. made us retch.
Can you conceive of working for the
emperor's new clothes?
