- i want to take john major's head and bang it again and again
- against the corner of a building until his head splits open
- and then find a wall that has been pebble dashed and scrape
- his head up and down the wall until he aint got no face left
- and its just a lump of red bleeding jelly in my hand.
- i want to take every one of the tory govermint an burn them alive.
- damn rat bastards fuck them every last fucker. die.
