Prisoners of the Prism

Stretch the truth
Put it on the rack
Talk to me about splitting hairs
I’ll split’m with an ax

Hang out with the captives
Talkin useless hope
Stand there on the trap door
Being fitted for a rope

Think up your acceptance speech
About who you need to thank
Practice it on the open seas
About half-way out the gang plank

Discouragement
Low down dirty and mean
I can cut it

Even if it takes a Guillotine
