The Torch - Momus

At last I’m unimportant now

The world forgot my name

The girls all lost my number now

Police don’t hold me long

They ask who killed the elephants

But never breathe my name

I must have killed a few, you know

But someone else is always blamed

The bliss of disobservitude

I dodge your shafting gaze

In society’s blindspot

Hiding in the haze

They ask who killed the eskimos

No-one holds me to blame

I must have killed a few, you know

But someone else is always blamed

Now I resemble multitudes

The hordes that you’ve ignored

The homeless refugees, you know

Your wretched and your poor

In darkness we sprawl huddled now

Free of any doubt

Unending disobservitude

The torch is out
