"Smith & Jones"
By Michael Knapp

(arrival)

here at Smith & Jones
we've got the parts you need
our 'friends' are here to serve
it's not what you'd expect

here at Smith & Jones
there are many things to see
like the 'rape machine'
'you wouldn't believe
the things they do'

here at Smith & Jones
it's like 'Zom Zoms' at night
where the humans come and go
it's almost like a dream

here at Smith & Jones
there's nowhere else to go
this is the only outlet
this is the end of the line

here at Smith & Jones
many things have changed
like 'where are the real ones?'
no reasons 'you're all too late'
