there is a sound they don' t want you to own



arrest every word that escapes from your throat

they hand you the world's smallest microphone

it's still too loud and you're asked to go home



she can stay as long as she swears

that when she breathes it will be her own air

she'll state her case and take up space

and that suffocates...

The Professional



there is a sound that they want you to hear

to drown out the voice that plays in your ear

they hand you the world's biggest razorblade

an amateur bleeds but she hardly gets paid



she can be mad but they'll let her know

the scorched earth allows nothing to grow

and she'll be blamed but feel no shame

'cause she'll have stopped...

THE PROFESSIONAL
