Keep Your Nose Clean

[Intro] "You… yeah you…" "I see the grease on your teeth." "The trail of rot you leave behind." "It’s time to scrub you down." "Keep your nose clean." [Verse] You lie through your teeth like a tapeworm chews You wear your guilt like old tattoos Stolen IDs, broken locks You’d rob a nun just for her socks Low-rent villain, couch-surf punk Plastic bag full of dealer’s junk Crawl through laws, smear your name “It ain’t my fault” — you’re all the same [Chorus] KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! DON’T BREATHE FILTH IN MY MACHINE KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! OR DROWN IN YOUR OWN LATRINE KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! WE SEE YOU SCURRY AND SCHEME KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! BEFORE WE WIPE THIS SLATE CLEAN [Bridge] "You fake the limp." "You scratch your sores in public." "You stink of weak ambition." "We see you. We smell you." "Keep your nose… clean." [Verse] Pawnshop king with a welfare crown Always “just got out,” always downtown Eat the crust but claim the pie Chew your shame and spit a lie Oily handshake, plastic grin Snitchin’ for a drink and a cigarette tin Scammy prophet, bug in the jar Just another parasite who won’t get far [Chorus] KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! WE’RE COMING WITH THE BLEACH STREAM KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! YOU’LL CHOKE ON YOUR REDEEMED DREAM KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! WALK STRAIGHT OR BITE THE BEAM KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! OR FALL APART AT THE SEAM [Interlude] "You think you’re clever, don’t you?" "Living off loopholes…" "Feeding on the margins…" "Always with your fingers in someone else’s plate." "Sniff sniff. Dirty. Dirty. Dirty." SCAB-EATER! FLEA-CARRIER! LEECH-BREATH GHOUL! TAX ON THE SYSTEM! ROTTEN LITTLE MULE! SNAKE IN THE CORDS! MOLD ON THE STONE! EVERYBODY KNOWS — YOU SHOULD BE ALONE!! [Verse] You pawned your shoes for a secondhand lie Blew smoke in the face of a widowed guy You laugh at rules while stealing bread You’d poison soup to get ahead Trash in a jacket, ghost in a rut Mouth like a drain and morals cut You’re fungus in a marble hall We scrub till there’s no trace at all [Chorus] KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! NO MERCY LEFT IN THIS SCENE KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! YOU’LL BE SCRAPED FROM THIS MACHINE KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! WE WON’T WARN YOU TWICE, YOU FIEND KEEP! YOUR! NOSE! CLEAN! OR FACE THE TEETH OF THE MACHINE [Outro] "Go on… crawl back under the fridge." "The light’s too bright for roaches like you." "Keep it clean… or keep away." "Keep your nose clean." "Keep your nose… clean…"
