It's the
Last day

Tomorrow they said they'd come for you
Sure I believe they'll be on time
They always are

Then I suppose they'll take you to some
****-house in the middle of nowhere
Work you till you drop and
Die

Underneath all that grimy face and ***** hands you
Still grin at me in that childish act
Waving maggots in my face

Tomorrow they'll come take you somewhere
I don't know what to do with the cash
But it'll feed the other kids enough

It's the
Last day

Thought I'd give you a treat
Went to the outside and brought back
Some meat
Chucked it in the fire
Let it singe for a bit
You gnawed on it like chocolate

Tomorrow they'll come take you away
And there's nothing I can do about it.
