The Mess You Made

[Intro - radio broadcasts]

"- police are advising everyone to stay clear of alleys and back streets during nighttime hours- "

"- and so far, none of the bodies have been recovered -"

"-  behind me, where this vicious assault has left only blood in its aftermath -"

"- and no one knows when or where the Trashman will strike again-"

I'm always following in your wake

I'm always cleaning up the mess you make

I've got my weapons ready, here we go

It will be over before you know

I'm right behind you in the dead of night

Keeping an eye on everything you trade

You put a tag on everything in sight, but you

Pay no attention to the mess you've made

Hear me on this

I will bring you the end of your world

It's a bedtime story they don't tell the rich

You are all on my watchlist and karma —

Well, karma's a bitch

Unseen hands are throwing the dice

Systems crumbling beneath their weight

Remember: everything has got a price

And every soul has an interest rate

Evaluate the sum of your lies

Put on your business smile and corporationalize

What you brought upon others has come back for you

You'll become what you used to despise

Traffickers of lives and traders of fate

Selling your dead lust across the sea

And once you are free, it is all too late

They once paid for you, but now they pay for me

[Guitar solo]

"of the twenty .....not one body has been recovered-"

"...in Queens just after midnight..."

Some blood has been shed, your greed has been fed

As have the imp on your back and the voices in your head

Put your calls on hold and allow me this dance

Reschedule your meetings and cancel your plans

Always tainted, always scarred

Sick of waiting, no holds barred

Judgment fails, and morals fade

Cleaning up the mess you made

Stay where you stand

And get choked by that invisible hand

In this corporate hell that will only compel you

To retcon supply and demand

I'll bring you down on your knees

From the top of the world to despair

I'm the solution, the treatment, and you're the disease

I'll be the end of your line, no doubt — watch out

Beware

"And once again, he has gotten away"
