lyrics

We boarded the train.
The interior was crushed red
Soldiers emerged
Behind sliding glass doors
Handed me a bundle of tools
Wrapped in a soft cloth

Without an instruction
I took out the pickax and turned to my sister
The only remaining family member
My only remaining family member
And hacked her body to pieces
I hacked her body to pieces

I already killed my mother
I already killed my mother
By being born

In a foggy chemical haze
Insecticides dumped
By crop duster airplanes
We lay low in the ditches
Along the train tracks
And wait to be restricted

The trains keep running
Slave trains keep running

I already killed my mother
I already killed my mother
By being born

Captions without photographs
Names Have all been Changed
Names have all been changed
To forget the victims
To forget the victims

I already killed my mother
I already killed my mother
By being born

Trains don’t whistle
Trains don’t whistle
Because they’re scared
You will not be spared
You will not be spared
You will not be spared
