[Intro: Charles Bukowski]

Born like this, into this

As the chalk faces smile, as Mrs. Death laughs

As political landscapes dissolve

As the oily fish spit out their oily prey

We are born like this, into this

Into hospitals which are so expensive that it's cheaper to die

Into lawyers who charged so much, it's cheaper to plead guilty

Into a country where the jails are full and the madhouses closed

Into a place where the masses elevate fools into rich heroes

Born into this, walking and living through this

Dying because of this

Castrated, debauched, disinherited, because of this

The fingers reach toward an unresponsive God

The fingers reach for the bottle, the pill, the powder

We are born into this sorrowful deadliness

There will be open and unpunished murder in the streets

It will be guns and roving mobs, land will be useless

Food will become a diminishing return

Nuclear power will be taken over by the many

Explosions will continually shake the earth

Radiated men will eat the flesh of radiated men

The rotting bodies of men and animals stink in the dark wind

And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard

Born out of that, the sun hidden there

Awaiting the next chapter

[Verse 1: MF DOOM]

DOOM from the realm of El Kuluwm, smelly gel fume

Separating cell womb to Melle Mel, BOOM

Revelations in Braille, respiration inhale, view

Nations fail and shaking of a snake tail, make due

Blazing swords trace the haze, praise the Lord

Saving Grace, lace your broad, she say she bored

A crazy straw, ink and stale dry paraffin

Candy corn crap rappers pale by comparison

A bad samaritan averagin' above average men

Rancid rants havin' ramblin' savages scavengin'

For scraps, perhaps roadkill, if that

Gift of gab, and he flow ill, chrome stiff hat

Known for writin' lightnin' tight lines, chiefin', beefin'

Bein' off deep ends, divine bright shines even

Dimes quiet as mimes by design mighty fine

Slight rewind, tightly bind, blind lead blind

Need mines now, that was this is then, listenin'

To sizzlin' officialtons whisperin' "Him again"

Metal Face Finster playin' with the dirty money

Sinister, don't know what he sayin' but the words be funny

Major vet spaded through the vest with a bayonet

Save your breath, gave a F, pay your debt, they forget

Make her sweat bullets, crime pays no benefits

Then it gets wilder with more childisher degenerates

[Interlude]

Three thousand years ago, Moses said:

"Every human being is responsible for his actions

Or thy being is still a beast, not yet human!"

[Verse 2: MF DOOM]

You ought to let your uncle flow, my motorcycle trunkfuls

From two-one two-one, lose crumbs to chunks in bundles

Hands down, better than what your mans used to get

Standin' around from where the translucent looses spit

Missin' wheel, you don't listen, you're a feel-head

Sittin' in the kitchen pissin', twitchin', kissin' steel lead

Crime pays no dental, nor medical

Unless you catch retirement, county, state or federal

You're heard like roaring waters in a seashell

If a tree fell, you couldn't tell from three cell

Be real careful, they tell him by the earful

Kids doing skid bids, acting out is terrible

Word is bond, fix your clothes, put a shirt on

Pants sagging back when you used to meant you had a skirt on

Squirts posin' as thuggers and hustlers

El Eloh closer than y'alls ball huggers and jugglers

Motherfuckers!

[Outro]

DOOM is transmitting a message to you

Super fools

I need to use more power
