Cassava Poisoning

from The Body by Facel Vega

	/

lyrics

Moonlit eyes fall upon the shore
They won’t see in night what they don’t see no more

The closeness of another
The desperate dream of prestige
The sanctified violence and a surreptitious disease

Look how we come so culturiZed
Look how we come so civilised
Disease are cultures we breed, something I want you to see
Drink the sap from the trees – yeah, you’ll be working for me
Look how we come so justified
Look how we leave here so satisfied

Where vision is obscurity
Selected histories inherent in me
Our nature is not visible
Kings and servants of the strongest will

Oh, cassava!

Look how we come so culturiZed
Look how we come so civilised
Look how we come so glorified
Look how we come so sanitized

Yeah, you’ll be working for me
