I got my new tattoo yesterday: A Sylvia Ji Painting. It was done by Ashley Rose, the same amazing artist that did Sheena’s recent Kukula piece. It is absolutely perfect and I wanted to thank Ashley for doing such an incredible job.

If you’re in the NJ/NYC area and you’d like to get a tattoo by her, you can contact her via myspace: Ashley Rose

RATM - Killing in the name of

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
But now you do what they told ya
Well now you do what they told ya

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites
Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites
You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses

Killing in the name of

And now you do what they told ya
And now you do what they told ya, now you’re under control
And now you do what they told ya!

Those who died are justified, for wearing the badge, they’re the chosen whites

Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me

air and light and time and space

“–you know, I’ve either had a family, a job,

something has always been in the

way

but now

I’ve sold my house, I’ve found this

place, a large studio, you should see the space and

the light.

for the first time in my life I’m going to have

a place and the time to

create.”

no baby, if you’re going to create

you’re going to create whether you work

16 hours a day in a coal mine

or

you’re going to create in a small room with 3 children

while you’re on

welfare,

you’re going to create with part of your mind and your body blown

away,

you’re going to create blind

crippled

demented,

you’re going to create with a cat crawling up your

back while

the whole city trembles in earthquake, bombardment,

flood and fire.

baby, air and light and time and space

have nothing to do with it

and don’t create anything

except maybe a longer life to find

new excuses

for.

Once, while falling into approvals tricky arms
I saw esteem’s corpse
Deafened by allure’s sweet, sweet song
On stygian shores
Affixed like I’m under a spell
That ain’t even like myself
No - things are going to change
That starts today
It seems just yesterday I ate it up
Your yarns were dipped in gold
I swallowed them whole
The real tragedy is that your act is just boring and old
Back and forth with this disdain
That ain’t even why I came
And when I scream
You want me crawling on my knees
I guess these days I’m someone else
I’m better off all by myself
These days I’m just somebody else
