Brute
Blunt end of a heavy hatchet
Come to me savage; I will match it
Dirty teeth in the trailer park
My bite infects, so mind my bark

"Ain't she a hoot?"
No, I'm a brute!

Judgement, you have fled to me
But I am worse than what you flee
The butcher's knife, the cast iron pan
The junkyard truck, the rusted van
They say I am an honorable man

The point is moot
Look, I'm a brute!

Redneck Caesar's human meat
Rotting in this humid heat
Hammer: temple. Taser: gut.
The slaughterhouse door is slamming shut
I will not make a surgeon's cut

Knife fight, I'll shoot
Motherfucker I'm a brute!
