The snake bit the child on the hand The father picked up the snake and cut its head off The boy stood up touched the man Mother saw him touch, her husband started buggin' Grabbed a kitchen knife Plunged it in her chest just to briefly see the covent Boy steps over his dying father to creepily Stare into the eyes of the child watching on the tv Kid hits the floor until her epileptic seizure Leaves her paramedics follow standard procedure Dispatch radios: â??we got a jumper on the roofâ?? They pack up drive to the scene and almost hit a youth Running from three armed teens pullin' death from their waists He dips into an alley, paramedics climb the staircase Bullets find a place in his back, he pounds the church door Tires squeal, he falls in a priest's arms, they hit the floor Jumper looks down at the priest, her toes grip the ledge She picks up her arms and takes a step when he says Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy The preacher leaves the precinct, signed papers, then prayed soft As he enters the church from the side front entrance taped off Drops to his knees, reached to the ceiling for forgiveness In his mind, every child's face he had inflicted his sickness Turns to a woman crying with a gun to his lid She pulls the trigger twice then screams, â??see if he forgives!â?? Runs to her car, ditches the gun in the dumpster A homeless man picks up the pistol diggin' for his supper Cops tell him to drop the weapon, he turns regardless They shoot up the trash and leave him dead in the garbage The coroner zips the black bag up over his head Loads him in the truck and says lord have mercy, Lord have mercy Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy Soft sounds of gospel play in the distance From a radio the coroner surrounded by student physicians He goes to work, removing lead from the cadaver The group takes notes, returns upstairs shortly after They joke of how the dead reek with no respect for the deceased And curse to hell the homeless man who just killed a priest Double doors slap open and force another episode Little gamer shot in the chest, enters his health codes They don't work; he twitches then spits his last breath to One of the student doctors cryin' clutches his nephew He turns to the tv but can't believe his head When the boy on the screen holdin' a dead snake says Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy
