On your watch
The woman who
discovered liberty
said it was always
hanging around
people too scared
to touch it
preferring their
own fears and doubts
She couldn’t wait
any longer
her heart wound
like an alarm
racing through the city
on a black stallion
banging out
this song
wake up to what’s happening
this evil must be stopped
the world is being poisoned
here on your watch
the sheriff he slept soundly
awakened by a buzz
straight from the factory offices
of a Mister Albert Crumb
he said we got trouble
someone’s found out
the sheriff knew what to do
a sadistic fool
he’d shoot out her legs
then the town could stream
what he’d do next
right there on their watch
