- Barabbas Freed
"I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"
All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"
-Matthew 27:25
O-conflict of the sea, Barabbas has been freed!
She's slipped away, out through that gate
and is a-comin' home to me!
She's got eighty days to think about her horrible crimes
now; pocket-fulls of candy, the toilet seat she nabbed
from that ARCO station, and her parents credit cards.
O-I can see her now and it is truly a pitiful sight;
sitting on her bed in her hard little cage, spitting
into the toilet. Maybe she could hold it for eighty days.
O-conflict of the sea, Barabbas has been freed!
She's slipped away, out through that gate
and is a-comin' home to me!
Eighty days is a long time for a 19 year-old girl to
spend locked up with a bunch of thieves, crackheads, killers
peder-asses, hoodlums, bitch bull dikes, and monkey fuckers.
It just doesn't seem right.
I hear she's doing well though. She's a trustee now.
She makes around five bucks a week unloading trucks. They
even let her take smoke breaks. (two per day)
O-conflict of the sea, Barabbas has been freed!
She's slipped away, out through that gate
and is a-comin' home to me!
When she was pulled over, with her sticking spike stuck
tight in her striped sock and her compact all packed with
the junk, she must have been shitting her pants. She must have
seen the last few years flutter by on a screen in her head.
And when they took her away, leaving her car in the
custody of the ghetto with its denizens fencing over it
with their syringes, she must have heard her parents
chastising her like they always do.
O-conflict of the sea, Barabbas has been freed!
She's slipped away, out through that gate
and is a-comin' home to me!
When she's finally released, torn out of those county
browns and stuck back into the maw of El Paso will she
have the county blues? Will she be back up to her old
tricks? Peddling her ass for another fix? She says
that's she's not sure.
Lord knows her angels have never liked her too much and
the money don't like her much neither. I'll do what I can
but you know that ultimately it's on her hands.
O-conflict of the sea . . .
