The Cull
Twenty five years
Twenty five years
Surely, surely you would know someone after twenty five years
Sharing those intimate moments
Locked together in tight corners
Seeing those eyes between piles of empty pints

But no,
Deep, deep within his bosom a worm is eating away
A worm eating away at all his decency
On the outside the same
Cheery bloke
Hale fellow well met

Inside a burning desire
A desire to seek out the weak
Seek out the faint hearted
Seek out those who are different
Those who are not like him
Him, who seemed to be so…

And then
Out of nowhere
The list
Were you on the list
Will you be on the list
Who knows
Take care, it could be you!
