painted thin - landmine lyrics
i made it through another day. i pat myself on the back. but i carry this with me still: the sight of the blood in the drawer of ever retail workers till. but i’ve read of the bruised, beaten face of a burmese friend. gang-raped with the contents of her uterus bare. it’s not a photo layout that i’ve ever seen wraped in the pages of a pepsi-cola promotional magazine. some days i can do it. walk in to any store and hand my money to a peer in some demeaning uniform. it’s thoise ominous three words that stare back at me from the bottom of a gl-ss and the tags that taunt me from the back of every piece of clothing i have. and this soldier wiping blood from his shirt in the buramese sun laughes because the coins that i abandoned, they are weighing down the pant pocket that this economic partnership has bought. i made it through another day. i pat myself on the back. but i carry this with me still: the sight of a blood soaked buramese soldier and the full mall parking lot that’s funding him.
