This is so wonderful.  I laughed, I cried.

the car’s on fire and there’s no driver at the wheel    and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides    and a dark wind blows    the government is corrupt    and we’re on so many drugs    with the radio on and the curtains drawn    we’re trapped in the belly of this horrible machine    and the machine is bleeding to death    the sun has fallen down    and the billboards are all leering    and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles

it went like this:  the buildings tumbled in on themselves    mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble    and pulled out their hair    the skyline was beautiful on fire    all twisted metal stretching upwards    everything washed in a thin orange haze    i said “kiss me, you’re beautiful–these are truly the last days”    you grabbed my hand and we fell into it    like a daydream or a fever    we woke up one morning and fell a little further down    for sure it’s the valley of death    i open up my wallet    and it’s full of blood         -godspeed you! black emperor
