Slither Line Blues

🎤 [Intro: Whispered Over Static]

“You cross the line, you meet the reptiles…”

…Welcome to Alligator Alcatraz…

⸻

They dropped me off in the back o’ the bog

Barbed wire fence and a venomous fog

Trump’s got a tower with a neon sign

“Illegals go here — or cross that line”

Got a gator named “Clarence” who stares through your soul

He’s the warden, the judge, and he’s on parole

Rattlesnake bunkmates, hissin’ a tune

We sleep in the mud under a bloodshot moon

⸻

🎵 Slither line blues, ain’t no breakin’ through

One wrong step and they’ll feast on you

Concrete dreams with a swamp-side view

We the lost, the damned, the snakebit crew 🎵

⸻

Camouflage drones buzz loud like lies

Spotlight sweeps while a congressman cries

You ever seen a man beg a moccasin?

It’s politics, teeth, and oxygen

They built a cage outta rusted steel

Painted flags on the walls just to keep it real

But this ain’t jail — it’s deportation doom

Where the Spanish moss grows like a noose in bloom

⸻

🎵 Slither line blues, ain’t no breakin’ through

One wrong slip and it’s curtains for you

The bayou’s hummin’ like a funeral tune

Every scream’s just a breeze in the heat of June 🎵

⸻

“They said we came for freedom…

Now we swim with reptiles.”

—Voice cracks, then snake hiss fades in—

⸻

🎵 Slither line blues, ain’t no rescue crews

They buried the rules in political views

Tell your kids that the myth ain’t true…

…but deep in the swamp, it’s waitin’ for you 🎵

(Slither… slither… bite…)
