Million Dead - Holloway Prison Blues lyrics

The leg bone is connected to the foot bone
Is connected to the Export Processing Zones
And it's nothing we condone
But everybody owns a pair of those shoes

I looked a little closer at
The walls of my house
And to my surprise they were
Made out of glass
So I made my way softly towards my front door
But to my surprise it was
Bolted shut and barred

The bloodstream gets it's sugar
From the intestine
Gets it's sugar from the supermarket chain
That left the village drained
Every high street the same soulless refrain
I looked a little closer at
The walls of my house
And to my surprise they were
Made out of glass
So I made my way softly towards my front door
But to my surprise it was
Bolted shut and barred

The newspaper reads like a list
Of charges brought against me
So I'm changing my plea to an
Open address to the jury

I confess that I was there
On that grassy knoll
And I confess I helped fake
The moon landings as well
But, I confess I've yet to
Let slip my lowest low:
There've been times when I've pretended I
Didn't know about my skeleton

Your honour I swear that I can explain
There are mitigating factors to
Consider in this case
I was looking out of a window to the west
Francis Fukuyama took me by the arm
Won me over with his
Famous intellectual charm
Swore this beauty wouldn't do any harm
We didn't look east because
The sun was setting

It's easy to lose yourself in the faintest
Reflection in the pane of a window
I suspect that I've lost myself in the guilty
Reflection of the pain that it lets through
I must confess I've started throwing
Stones around the house
I don't mean to moan but I
Never even signed the lease

The newspaper reads like a list
Of charges brought against me
So I'm changing my plea to an
Open address to the jury

I confess that I was there
On that grassy knoll
And I confess I helped fake
The moon landings as well
But, I confess I've yet to
Let slip my lowest low:
There've been times when I've pretended I
Didn't know about my skeleton
