Janus

There's lots of sense

keepin' things as they are -

with the Swiss accounts

burstin' boullion bars.

Scam after scam,

you've seen 'em all

but if you dropped this monster

shock'd be who'd fall.

The young get stung

by the power and pace,

while some greasy shark's

twistin' bibles in your face.

You're nitpickin' details

and playin' the cynic,

but there'd be no glamor

getting off at the clinic.

Janus, the "Victimizer",

you two-faced illegalizer.

Your small Frankensteins

cross datelines.

What you hold dear

is fear.

The front page pop

makes for good P.R.

but when the price jumps up

people get hurt.

There's too much money,

we all got a price,

but when the ugliness burns

it lights up the sky.

The prison walls

are splittin' their seams

while booze and tobacco

advertise in 'zines.

The capital's doctored

at the "Cleanse and Loan" -

if their clients default

guess who gets boned?
