lyrics

BASEBALL

THE SLUGGER WAS SLUMPING, DOWN BY A RUN.
HOME TEAM IN TROUBLE, DARK TIMES HAVE COME.
DARK CLOUDS WERE FORMING, STORMY IMAGE DEFORMING.
SEX AND SLEAZE DEFILED. NO ONE WEARS A SMILE.

WIN THE MINDLESS GAME OF SUCCESS.
MONEY FOR BLOOD, BLOOD RUNS LESS THAN A DRY WELL.
IT’S HARD TO TELL IF THE ROTTING CORPSE OF HUMANITY
WILL BE GIVEN A DECENT BURIAL.

APPLES ROTTING ON THE TREE.
PIES ARE SCREAMING TO BE FREE.
NO ONE TO PICK THEM, NO ONE IS HERE.
THEY’RE AT THE GAME. THE STORY’S THE SAME.

HOUSE ON FIRE NO LONGER WHITE.
THE GLOWING SHOWER IS NOT AS BRIGHT
AS THE REBIRTH OF POWER.
IT’S GETTING DARK BUT THE LIGHTS DON’T COME ON.
IT GETTING DARK AND NOBODY’S WON.

APPLES ROTTING ON THE TREE . . . . . . . .

EXTRA INNINGS, RAIN DELAY,
L. A.’S BURNING, SMOKEY HAZE.
PUT OUT THE FIRE. MAKE US BELIEVE
OR KILL THE DESIRE TO BE FREE
