Badass Blues

By Sean Mc Shane

She called me an Outlaw,
                    So I laughed in Her face . . .
Finished off my whiskey,
                    and then ditched that place . . .
I don't wanna be labled for shit,
                    especially 'bout breakin' the laws of man . . .
No guilt - No remorse
                    Hell is my promised land . . .
She said she was ready
                    to accept whatever fate . . .
tired of hearin' her shit
                    I had to set her straight . . .

" Baby, you'd be on the Bi-Polar Express
   with a man named Wrath
   I drive this graveyard train
   over anything in my path

   I move thru the shadows of night
   I control my own fuckin' destiny
   No woman - No witch
   will ever get the best of me

   I take it all way too fast
   leave it even faster
   Your broken heart - lost soul
   take it up with your pastor

   I can't and won't help ya
   two shits is all I can give
   I cut my heart out years ago
   so love could never live

   You'd just be forever trapped
   in my burnt-out shell
   to be in love with me
   you'll feel the hate in hell

   I drink a lot of cheap whiskey
   that shit makes me mean
   what part ain't ya gettin' ?
   about this Suicide Machine

   fueled on trailer park dope
   I smoke shit by the ton
   and I always shoot to kill
   when I pull my favorite gun

   I've killed before, Baby
   and I will kill again
   I'm gonna keep burnin' this world
   til I meet my End "

She stood there,
                tears rollin' down . . .
I glared in her eyes
                and hissed thru a frown . . .

" I can see ya just don't get it
and I don't really care
so this is where we part
ey - just tryin' to be fair

   I'm doin' you a fuckin' favor
   by leavin' your ass here
   go back to 'Happy Heights'
   be with someone not here

   I'm goin' to Hell's Gates
   at the end of this nightmare
   that's where I choose to die, baby
   goodbye - take care "

I left her there cryin'
                  that's the way it's gotta be . . .
so that was the end of her
                  now on to the End of me . . .

I woke up and living a lie just isn't an option anymore. I don't want to be saved - I want to experience and you can't experience shit sheltered in the safety of the suburbs trapped in a fancy house. I love your work Sean - it always speaks to me... - XXOO

Hot shit and go back to "Happy Heights", beautiful. This was an epic piece of independence and misogyny all rolled into one masterwork. Thanks and cheers!
