I decided to watch the news today, still nothing good. Didn't see one story I liked, who would? Cat and mice, shop-robbers, homicide, little engine that could... Same old empty suits, same looks, shouting where they stood. Familiar faces, oversized t,v,'s, smiles glowing bright. Familiar faces, convincing you and me why we still must fight. Decided to read the paper, top story-mourning of the passed. Poverty and bombings, boy those stocks, sure are crashing fast. So then I bought a book, one of current events.... Quotes from the same talking heads, that only speak to vent Familiar faces, oversized t,v,'s, smiles glowing bright. Familiar faces, convincing you and me why we still must fight.

Those girls nails are wack as hell and that dudes hair is something else Who the hell am I to judge, walking around these parts asking for directions and help If where I'm going is there and that route takes me here... Where's the closest, cheapest pub I should stop to get my 1st beer On a hidden corner, long overdue for some peace and quite. Can't stand to see a fake-tanned, juiced up, punk who's just trying to get violent Oh joy, I found a local to say this is my place. Damn right it's where I'll spend my days, it's my time to waste. The girls here don't have much to say, the guys you can't understand. One has a cousin of a cousin of a friend with a friend in a very, very big band. There's a click in one corner, a group on one side, a few others are scattered about. Everyone keeps to themselves, no background music, and the Barmen seldomly shout. The tables seem too sticky but the waitresses are friends of mine. free drinks comes more than now and again and when they come its more than 1 at a time. Oh joy, I found a local to say this is my place. Damn right it's where I'll spend my days, it's my time to waste.

Caffeine 02:52
This morning try to avoid the same problem The last time you ran out it ended up costing. No beans in the cupboard you knew you should've bought em. Haven't had your coffee yet, conversation is not an option Caffeine, how I want you, how I need you, don't care, your never too much how could I mis-treat you? Caffeine, take me now, take me here, don't care, your never too much, how could I ever leave you? Phew, close call, the store almost ran out. It was only 1 tense hour, could've been much worse. Man at the counter knows what I'm talking about. Not the only case he's seen but today I'm the first. Caffeine, how I want you, how I need you, don't care, your never too much how could I mis-treat you? Caffeine, take me now, take me here, don't care, your never too much, how could I ever leave you?

No glass windows only steel bars. 1 floor, no stairs, no basement. Shirts, ties, new customers, old patrons. Hands with a few notes and coins in a jar. Standing in the bank. A lady in a red dress, a man escorted. Locks with limited fingerprint keys. A granite desk boss reports what he sees. Ticking across wall screens, "we've all been extorted". Standing in the bank 30 minute wait in a chair, greeted with a smile. How do ya do? What can we do? how much you got? A small account and some nerves, have to pay the lot. Wink with a fake frown, just wait there a while. Good for you, new policies, here's a list. Don't worry, take the sheet, sign down the bottom. I've only got 5 bucks will that be a problem? No, you'll get plenty back, interest. Standing in the bank

about

Los and the Deadlines London, UK

The seedy underbelly of any major city spawns some of the most depraved and morally reprehensible bastards that even the dregs of civilization look down upon. These cretins walk amongst us, they ask you for money, they serve you drinks, they file your taxes, and in this case; they formed a band. ... more
