lyrics

photographs of the offender hang on the wall
and terrorize the family with a smile
fragments of privacy in a frame

builds a circle around himself in the garage
and manufactures emptiness with secrets
the distance threatening to explode

he strengthens the fear in his wife and children
bound under the law of private property
the hostage room is filled with ammunition
he sits with his back to the wall loading guns

barricades himself in the house with his machines
and practices the doctrine of confinement
as fast as he can pull the trigger
he runs from the house firing into the sky
a rain of bullets cut him down on the lawn
the white-lined contour of the husband/father
has just made out his final mortgage payment
