Queensryche Spreading The Disease
(Geoff Tate/Michael Wilton) She always brings me what I need Without I beg and sweat and bleed When we're alone at night Waiting for the call she feeds my skin Sixteen and on the run from home Found a job in Times Square Working live S&M shows Twenty-five bucks a f..ck And John's a happy man She wipes the filth away And it's back on the streets again CHORUS Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Father William saved her from the streets She drank the lifeblood from the Saviour's feet She's Sister Mary now, eyes as cold as ice He takes her once a week On the altar like a sacrifice CHORUS Religion and sex are power plays Manipulate the people for the money they pay Selling skin, selling God The 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 America CHORUS --------------------------------------------------------
