Steel cables crown the potholed pavement gate
Trembling turnpike: desperate escape
Insistent tentacles of hate won't give up
The rancid squalor screams for me to wait
Bridging the way west from the tainted city waste
Jersey's swamps infused
By the taste of crude
It's an oozing
Open sore
I can't care
Anymore
Endless belching smoke stacks blacken the skies
Carbon monoxide: toxic paradise
Smoldering coal mines burn beneath the earth
A carcinogenic veil of death
Strip mall redux designed to entice
Under constant surveillance by police
It's an oozing
Open sore
I can't care
Anymore
Ravaged cities wail with siren's piercing calls
Vicious brutal pace: litany of waste
Violence takes the place of every human grace
The whole world's in a savage freefall
Suburbia crawls with dioxin poisoned soil
Fragile landscape raped for another mall
It's an oozing
Open sore
I can't care
Anymore
