Control Chemical.
CONTROL CHEMICAL
selling mama daughta
and baby sista,
stalkin' human
and material prey
night and day,
it's always time to elevate ...
then down,
melancholy
and soon
transmutants:
like human rodents
and Pavlov's dogs
on all fours
hunting stimuli
to reward
that first hit
long, long ago ...
now in constant pursuit of utopia,
that place of temporary
specious exhilaration,
that fleeting feeling
of 'all right'
but always descending
into that human abyss,
encountering mutating phenomena
in the short-rived
utopic state
of narcosis,
psychedelia
changing eclectic faces
human ogres
beckoning
beseeching
begging for more,
then some more stimuli
fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters
FAMILIES ...
lying ... denying ... dying ...
frightening!
you've lost control
are slipping into deeper darkness
into a mental social abyss,
your reality obscured
by unreality, artificiality
You're fucked up
brothas and sistas.
you're all cracked up!.
