And when they said this wasn't worth its weight in goldnWe chose to clench our fists and spit in their eyesnTurn a deaf ear, a blind eyenTo all the vulturesnLooking for their chance to pick at our bonesnA plague, diseasenBreaking us downnCancer, Red DeathnIt's in our bloodstream eating us alivenThe poison pours down on us from high abovenAnd seeps in through our skinnRavaging our insidesnWith every antidote we try and each disaster we avertnWe only add to the price we paynWe only add to the price put on our headsnScratch us, scratch us till we bleednInject the venom straight into our open woundsnA plague, disease, cancer, Red DeathnInfected one by one
