Special K. (scenes from the factory) 

murderers become 
martyrs in amerika
murderers become 
martyrs in amerika
murderers become 
martyrs in amerika
martyrers become 
martyrers become 
become margarine in amerika
how much you got to defend ‘ya?
got enough to hire a full defense team
to stop ‘ya from feeling defensive? put 
a full-court press out on them? to put 
them on the defensive and disorient
them and turn the tables and now 
time to go on the offense depress 
them and now they’re the victim 
even if they got the d.n.a. and blood sample 
we’re gonna prove it's all circumstantial 
are you big and do you got the big ups 
with the blogging with the social media 
a book deal in the works and very prestigious 
presses fighting over it for the new york times 
best seller’s list and a whole list of sitcom stars 
willing to play you as the murderer to help 
them revitalize their careers and all’s you gotta 
do is do a plea bargain and bargain down bid 
and lickety-split you’re in you’re out like flynn
you’re rehabilitated you're back in the system 
with just a little community service and anger
management step-down program and whole 
list and treatment plan of anacronyms and 
you’re a new man! a new man! a new man!
a new & improved man in amerika even got 
those crazy women who love madmen and 
will marry you and unconditionally like some 
wife of a pedophilic preacher support you during 
the interview as your dreams can come true because 
you have paid your dues and now absolved in amerika 
of all your sins and no longer the criminal and them 
the victim and everyone has a case of very 
convenient amnesia (not even feeling any
guilt by association while amerika supposedly 
has the reputation of being a very “forgiving” 
country as probably know deep-down inside 
they’re guilty and could be...) who knows? 
maybe even get your own talk show?
game show? be a host on one 
of those reality shows? get some 
commercial for mouthwash for your million 
dollar smile? become a cartoon character 
with your own action-adventure doll?
the face of some chain restaurant
or credit card? and who knows? 
since you were born here and 
absolved...where murderers become 
martyrs murderers become martyrs 
martyrers become murder become 
margarine in amerika; funny though 
how did they make me out the victim 
i was just minding my own business 
and eternally feel guilty and conflicted 
in this freakshow sideshow three ring
circus courtroom drama vicious 
abuse cycle in amerika go walk 
through the fog and the puddles 
of the driveway tip-toe through 
the tulips where the school 
buses come in to pick up 
the morning paper where 
you find out in fact there
really is no right or wrong 
good or bad or even for that 
matter true or false but all 
multiple choice where they 
feed you the questions 
and the answers and 
just gotta come up 
with the most plausible 
excuse and probable cause.
