Wearing Asbestos (live - First gig​!​)

lyrics

WEARING ASBESTOS

On Main Street, I was roasted,
In the ghetto I was toasted-
In suburbia, I got fried-
When I heard somebody lie-

It's an eruption of corruption
A conflagration of debasement
An explosion of corrosion
. . . and I forgot to avert my eyes!

In the subway, I got seared,
When a woman screamed in my ear-
At the Olympics, I was scorched
When the terrorists stole the torch-

Tortured eruptions of corruption
Conflagrations of debasement
Explosions of corrosion
. . . don't forget to avert your eyes-

Or you'll go blind!

I see a young boy, getting beaten-
I see a psycho getting treatment,
I see Cambodia-I see no justice-
You are all wearing asbestos.

Wearing asbestos, wearing asbestos -

Yeah, and I burn
And I burn
And no one is concerned
But I'm flammable
And I know someday I'll ignite-

Asbestos-

(C) Damon Norko
