Time-Released Tattoo

Time-released tattoos, these bruises 
Pain ingrained when someone loses 
Balance in the brain and uses 
Violence, blame, and lame excuses 
Hired guns we dangle nooses 
Strangle geese, and sheep, and moose 
As if this gift of life is useless 
Don we now our gay abuses 
Time-release tattoo, I thought you knew

Time-released tattoos that cover 
Half the planet, crooked govern-
Ments that grab, they do not govern 
Us, they're more like hawks that hover 
Over us--over others 
Always over, never under 
What the eff, no effin' wonder 
Time-released tattoo 

Time-released tattoo that reaches 
Far beyond its native beaches 
Lincoln and his famous speeches 
Plymouth Rock and Georgia peaches 
Time-released tattoos like leeches 
Practice not what Jesus teaches 
Broken treaties no one speaks of 
Time-released tattoo 

Time-released tattoo, a virus 
On computer and papyrus 
Needing idols to inspire us 
Schwarzenegger and Osiris 
Time-released tattoo get ready 
Show your face and hold it steady 
Let me love you fierce and deadly 
With both laser and machete 
Time-released tattoo, I thought you knew
