lyrics

Hark. Lo. Ye, if it please the court...
this is an example of a convoluted overture / cacophony in form
catch a beating from a coma camera / focus on the norm
automatic automatic automatic cool
he edited it and edited it and delivered it after school
mountain-moving man / tantrum for sale
banter and fail / band on a scale
a phantom, a male predisposed to getting jiggy in his head
presuppose they’ll give a shit before you’re dead
to be precise: preset prose arguments for elders and a mint in a black box
bugs on your ear and a king that you jack off
sample data sample data sample data sample
jack a beat instead and off a queen for instant cracker clout
or offer her an essay on the virtues of aggression
assuming that it’s pretty good’s the new second guessing
case in point: the minute boy made his juice on the backs of skeletons stacked
irrelevant facts come better when disguised as your own kinda genius
we thought it was a song but it turned out to be a penis
oh my...a closed eye that won’t cry
your whole side is angry but you’re really just bovine
you don’t eat your friends unless they come covered in cheese
you don’t make amends unless receiving currency
substantiated claim that these are the rules of a personality passed
it’s the scent of death you recall, not so much the gas
parentheses here
e.g / e.g. / e.g. / e.g. a skull minus a tongue performs the art of all your uglies
that’s the sound of money...the world when it’s round
your ass when it’s flat / your back in a cast / your movie at last
this is an example of a

i.e. soldiering for medals when you’re driving the war car / holding broken bottles by the cut in your forearm
sottering your marrow for a notch on a scorecard / held by the imaginary culture police
shard of a man with a scab and a tendency to pacify his enemies with radical solemnity
a passion for the penalty of acting out offensively / illiterate hyperbole / glass eye vandal
verified clause says stop on a consonant / ring on a whim / stomp on a continent / sing your own hymn
tra-la-la-la-bullshit
exhibit C / exhibit / do explicitly exhibit seven degrees of separation
from a cognizant connection to the consequence of hell-bent ciphers
he’s a skeleton sniper

your honor, this is an example of a
(sample data / testimony reveals / illustrated here / supporting evidence)
this is an example of a dead man stomping
permit me introduce a dead man stomping
committed by a dead man stomping
the sound of a dead man stomping
this is an example of a dead man stomping
