Spreading The Disease - Remastered 2003

She always brings me what I need
 Without a beg and sweat and bleed
 When we're alone at night, waiting for the call
 She feeds my skin
 16 and on the run from home
 Found a job at Times Square, working live S&M shows
 25 bucks a fuch, 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 saviour'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 sex are powerplays
 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 can 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
 Spreading the disease
 Everybody needs
 But no one wants to see
 The way society
 Keeps spreading the disease
