Propagandhi - Purina Hall of Fame lyrics

[Propagandhi - Purina Hall of Fame lyrics]

Sleeping masters roused to burning
Homes from beds
Steeping toddlers plucked from
Their watery deaths
Ribbons, plaques and soft-soap are
The ephemeral rewards
Paid to the slaves whose selfless acts accord

A higher value to their masters
These parting gifts, bolt pistols
Console the rest, the remainder

Too bad the tribute's paid to
Lives that relegate these thrones
To lives spent valuing the runners-up
Are known
Are to be neither fleeting nor desirable
But nothing surprises me these days
I just sit and watch the
Boxcars roll by and wait



Patient unattended
So patient so unattended

A package under a terminal bench and
A short fuse to scatter
Steady hands if I forget to remember

That better lives have been lived in
The margins and locked in the prisons

And lost on the gallows
Than have ever been enshrined in palaces

It's not your fault
There's nothing you can do
It's just the way it is
There's nothing we can do
