Indefensible

from The Cheese Stands Alone by Mark Lint

/

about

Written and recorded in 1998 (upon the death of Pol Pot), remixed in 2019

lyrics

Well, your life’s indefensible
I hope you could guess
You deny what’s forthcoming
But your actions say yes

Well, we’ll see how cool you are then when it comes
Well, we’ll see how hard you bite when you’re all gums

When you slowly discover that you can’t keep this up
As you start to reflect more as you learn to shut up
Well, we’ll see how cool you are then, won’t we now?
Yes, we’ll see how much disgrace you will allow

When your stain has been lifted and your lies are exposed
When you feel suicidal for the ones that you’ve hosed

When you bleed from your nostrils till you lie on the floor
When you can’t stand the feel of being you any more

When you’ve sold off your infamy to some other guy
When your few years have trickled off and left you to die

When your mind has deserted and your heart has gone home
When the worms eat your fetid flesh and gnaw at your bones
Well, we’ll see how cool you are then, won’t we now?
We’ll see how many insect homes your carcass will allow
