lyrics

Family Council Meeting

They wouldn’t let me run
So I staked out with my son
The family council meets at 10

Now the age of 17
My child grew to know my dream
We hatched a plan, armed — waited in the van

Gave him a reassuring nod
Crossed ourselves and prayed to God
“May this crooked tree branch break at last”

Hoods over our heads
Like twin grim reapers approaching a bed
The nest of vipers would soon be sussed

When I kicked in the door
And aimed my Kel-Tec PMR
No look of surprise on anyone’s face

Sharp pain in the back
When I turned, before things got black
My boy had the cold eyes of his name

Eyes blurred, on my side
When I started to smile wide
My uncle leaned close and I whispered the words:

“Freedom at last,
You sons of bitches make me laugh
I’d say, ‘See you in hell’ but you ain’t that good.”
