lyrics

One day, one poet
That I met
Truly believed in beauty of reality.

Unfortunately
He bumped into
An old lady – Bitch, corrupted witch.

(refrain)
How can you believe
All that shit, all that shit
How can you believe what they taught you at school
While your fresh brain tricked you so well…

The poet I met
Turned into
A loony scientist – Glitter, plastic glory

Excuse me, Sir,
Will you move from my path?
My anger is going to kill you

(refrain)

The poet, he’s dead
Of too much pride
Crushed my dreams away – I decide so to kill him a second time.
