The Usual Suspects
Bit by bit
Piece by piece
The prison walls fall down
But the floodwaters fill the breach
And people start to drown
And they kick and scratch to stay afloat
With their feet still tangled in the weeds
That have been allowed to grow
All down the centuries
And drop by drop
And one by one
They lose the will to stop
They stare down the barrel of a gun
While we yawn, and lap it up
And people do what they’ve always done
The say what they’ve always said
“Like father, like son”
Till everybody’s dead.
And brick by brick
Stone by stone
Their shiny palaces fall
To be replaced with blood and bone
While we sit and watch it all
And it’s with a whimper
Not a shout
That the last thing they see
Are the usual suspects
Safe in a boat
With their trousers still round their knees
Sailing off to sea.
