Parasite

He can feel it rising The spit and bile A beggars hand A life reviled On his doorstep He'll have some fun An empty heart A loaded gun Rain and thunder A silent gloat You're not out there On the leaking boats But you're not special Just a lucky one You were born here Others die to come It's a parasite, I can see the hate awaken It's a parasite, that is twisting your mind It's the suicide of humanities compassion, when You're doing wrong but you justify Boots in lockstep Red white black parade The drums of war Pounding in their heads But bombs are falling Indiscriminate Angels weep Mothers dressed in black It's a parasite, I can see the hate awaken It's a parasite, that is twisting your mind It's the suicide of humanities compassion, when You're doing wrong but you justify In the ashes Of the land We might find Our love again And if you ever Have war at hand I swear by me I'll burn it down again It's a parasite, I can see the hate awaken It's a parasite, that is twisting your mind It's the suicide of humanities compassion, when You're doing wrong but you justify It's a parasite, when you're cruel without intention It's the parasite, when you're looking away But it's in your mind, it's a curable infection And tomorrow will be better than today
