Spreading the Disease

She always brings me what

I needWithout

I beg and sweat and bleed

When we're alone at night

And waiting for the call, she feeds my skin

Sixteen and on the run from home

Found a job in

Times ****** working

Live S and

M showsTwenty-five bucks a **** and

John's a happy man

She wipes the filth away and it's back on the streets again

Spreading the disease

Everybody needs

But no one wants to see

Father William saved her from the streets

She drank the lifeblood from the savior's feet

She's Sister

Mary now, eyes as cold as ice

He takes her once a week on the alter like a sacrifice

Spreading the disease

Everybody needs

But no one wants to see

Religion and *** are power plays

Manipulate the people for the money they pay

Selling skin, selling

GodThe numbers look the same on their credit cards

Politicians say no to drugs

While we pay for wars in

South America

Fighting fire with empty words

While the banks get fat

And the poor stay poor

And the rich get rich

And the cops get paid to look away

As the one percent rules

AmericaSpreading the disease

Everybody needs

But no one wants to see

The way society

Keeps spreading the disease
