this is a poem.
-"everytime a bell rings an angel gets its wings"-


there's a crack in the liberty bell
they print stacks so we dwell to sell
i asked the masked mack
if that's how his head started to swell
he put the gat in his lap, pondered
then relapsed back on it with
"oh well, don't tell"
REBEL


there's something missing
from the liberty bell
twisting curses with every verse
it gets worse
is this hell?
i can't even tell
just another day in paradise
lost, conscience in the mosh
tell me, what's the cost
to bond out of jail with no bail?
personal recognizance is far
from a final farewell
i'm losing my tolerance
to totalitartian dominance
over adolescent omniscience
swimming in pale ale
but oh well
don't tell
REBEL


there's a fault in the liberty bell
one false slip
now those tricks are tripping to get a grip
when we flip on a dell
but who decided where the dividing line fell?
see the cells of cellulose surround us
and guess what?
they swell
some shrink, some shit, some split
to sum
a cancerous tumor is a magical spell
but oh well
don't tell
REBEL


RE-belle
she sells sea shells by the seashore
and that's cool
but those whores hock pussy on the poster board
and that's lewd
now he said that she said that she's saying that he's sick
and somebody sued
the kind of case that could potentially carry a capital L
a casket covered corpse or back to the other kind of cell
now that's crude

to God, the fodder, the folly, the martyr
the diseased little daughter
'cause the son said she's the starter
all the while they both play doctor
as the mother and the father
and why, i really wonder
do we even bother?
to spend another penny
on a wishing well's water
when we're not supposed to dwell on
what we really want
or else they'll gel the truth
like when we bill
"who's for marijuana?"
but the only bills they know
bought another somebody into congress
feel me?
oh well
don't yell
or else "they gon' put the po' up on ya"
don't even tell
ring a bell
REBEL
