shut up & eat
shimmering
mouths & heads
neither ask us nor wish
for us to return
the favor
because you will not
but if you do
and we will not
but if we oblige
mark our words
you will all
end up walking
without heads
on your shoulders
machinating heads
shut your
mouths & eat
your words
working hands & feet
cease work
sway heads
clap tap & shakalak
mouths & heads
neither ask us nor wish
for us to return
the favor
because you will not
but if you do
and we will not
but if we oblige
mark our words
you will all
end up walking
without heads
on your shoulders
machinating heads
shut your
mouths & eat
your words
working hands & feet
cease work
sway heads
clap tap & shakalak
