11:17pm. 3rd September 2018.

Shanti finds out from the doctor that she's infertile, Ravi happens to work just fine though. Shanti wants to level the playing field.

lyrics

This moon is drunk
And bored like gods of old
And it's cracked and defunct
Marginalized and fucked…

Cold like the grills on my unforgiving window
Stained, and shamed and without riposte
Don't you know

I'll shout it out all night
I will be heard, I will be remembered
Shout it out all night
I will be heard, I will be remembered

So, let's even the score
I want my six inches of restitution
But you've only got four…


Here comes my matador
Sticking toothpicks in toads
Preening in the daytime, and squirming
all night
(He can) afford to see justice in the shape
of a kitchen knife


A slit below the belt and
I'm certain that he'll shit himself
-yeah, a slit below the belt
and he'll shit himself
(Won't you help)

Shout it out all night
I will be heard, I will be remembered
Let's shout it out all night
I will be heard, I will be remembered

So, let's even the score
I want my six inches of restitution
But you've only got four.
