For all your love of soma
All my blood’s in vain
You say your history’s over
All of my blood’s in vain
Your television coma
All my blood’s in vain
It’s gone too far to change
All of my blood’s in vain
Flash across your screen
[They] got you in their hand
Fifteen minutes of freedom
Still 3/5 a man
Sterilize your conscience and disgrace your name
A healthy simulation
All my blood’s in vain
For all your love of soma
All my blood’s in vain
You say your history’s over
All my blood’s in vain
Your television coma
All my blood’s in vain
It’s gone too far to change
All of my blood’s in vain
Liquor stains your table
Women change your bed
You rise on Sunday morning
Just like the living dead
Your Hell is fornication
Your Heaven is the same
But master is complacent
So all of my blood’s in vain
For all your love of soma
All my blood’s in vain
You say your history’s over
All my blood’s in vain
Your television coma
All my blood’s in vain
It’s gone too far to change
All of my blood’s in vain
Four hundred years of torture
Four hundred years a slave
Dead just to watch you squander
Just what we tried to save
Now death is at your doorstep
And you’re still playing games
So drown in entertainment
Cause all our blood is in vain.

Black Eunuch

We are all walking in the dark with the scissors in our hand
We are there when you fall apart when there’s no one in your bed
We are all walking in the dark with the scissors in our hand
We are there when you fall apart when there’s no one in your bed
She said, “Please keep your smile away so we can still be friends”
I’m standing single file
While sex melts in my hand
Desiring other things
That other eyes in other rooms desire
They pay her with their diamond rings
Then she has me wait outside
Then they come crawling out
So, how dare you smile so sweet?
[We are there when you’re in the dark when there’s no one in your bed]
And how dare you speak so soft?
[We are there when you fall apart with no one to hold your head]
No, don’t try to undress me
No, nobody else at all
Nobody else at all
Nobody else at all.

Algiers is a band of musicians born in Atlanta, Georgia, the rotten hub of the Ol’ American South, where W.E.B. Dubois once saw a riot goin’ on, and where the hell and highwater swirls ‘round to the knees.
