Art Bergmann - Dirge No. 1 lyrics

For seven days and Seven nights I stayed up with him My best friend He's a dog We stayed Down in the market We thought it was So cool Like little Jerusalem The chicken blood Ran in the gutters Man did it stink They played disco Of the ages It could turn a man Into a racist Anyway he says I've been burned so many times I'm going out tonight And k** every Black man i see I said "uh,uh Not me!" I have got A big confession I'll be as clean As the new ss As orderly as a nurse Just like a doctor As clean As this earth So he took His favourite red knife Stuck it in Some dealser's thigh Took all his dope What a mess My my He came back up To our flat Pulled a dirty fit Out of the garbage Came into my room He said "You've gotta help me" I said "Hello you old devil" And smashed him Right in the teeth I will be as clean as Christ on the cross I've been so dirty I will be as clean as Christ on your wall Restitution for everyone Who died along the way Having fun
