The Robot Bird Tells Me How It Is I Am in Hell

My name is Law I do the work

The boss says he created me in

The in the however long it was

Between when Cain crushed Abel’s fore-

head with a rock and the first drop of

Blood hit the ground I was the voice

Of the blood crying out to God

You know the thing in the Bible God says

The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth

Unto me from the ground that shit

Happened I was a baby all fucking

Bawling and shit yeah anyway

I say that makes Cain killing Abel

I say that makes Abel poor dickless

Abel the first human and

The father of all humankind

But the boss he says different

He says it’s him the boss for making

The murder possible and he’s

Not philosophical like me

He doesn’t have to be but he

Is sure as shit he’s fucking he’s

Smarter than me smarter than you

Anyway so listen a couple

Weeks ago we got a fax

You think there’d be a phone in Hell

Fuck no we fax so anyway

We got a fax about you shit-

For-brains it said you would be coming

Down and the boss wanted you

To get a tour at first I thought

It meant the boss down here because you

Know he’s the boss I think things mean

But then I heard him shouting and

Breaking shit in the throne room and

I realized it meant the boss boss

And as this dawns on me he stomps

Out of the throne room sees the I

Don’t know the joy of knowing what’s

Going on for once flash in my eyes

Or some shit and he’s fucking pissed

Next thing I know I’m guiding your

Slow ass through Hell but the boss doesn’t

Want you to know you’re getting special

Treatment so if you see him keep your

Mouth shut oh shit how will you breathe

Don’t look at me like that I know you’re

Not breathing it still works so anyway

Back to Abel what I think is

If Abel’s not your father Cain

Is after all he had the big

Rock and how many times you think

He saw his dad kill anything by

Crushing its head not many right

Nah man an arrow in the heart

And by the way that’s what God gave you

By telling Adam he could name

The animals God told you where

Their hearts were Adam never missed a

Shot you might think this sounds like bullshit

But he was using a gift God

Had given him so killing was

Like prayer for him but Cain he looked

Abel in the eyes and saw himself

Not in his brother’s heart but in

His head and crushed his head and yeah

Where else do humans start Cain named

The animal in Abel’s head
