bloodsuckers
you suck out the oil
for the salt of the earth
you ravage the soil
strip mining mountains
you gauge out the face
you suffocate life
in an asphalt membrane
don’t eat your own heart
‘cause you can never win
bloodsuckers
you steel from the earth
you’ll kill for the riches
and decide what it’s worth
bloodsuckers
got your values out of whack
you’ve been selling your soul
for a greenback stack
Don’t speak to me of morality
Justice wrong or right
You dig the dirt ignore the hurt
And spit out all your lies
Conscience free as we bleed
Hypocrisy born from greed
Don’t preach to me of integrity
Or your legal highs
The judge’s thrilled
He’s dressed to kill
On TV every night
Subliminal – so absurd
It’s criminal – yet can’t be heard
Chorus
Bloodsuckers – how can they sleep at nights
Bloodsuckers – nothing but parasites
You will be on the stand today
They cannot harm you – it’s okay
But they will destroy your family
And drag you through Hell and tragedy
A circus heading into town
Complete with cameras and the clowns
The first amendment shot to bits
The world is watching just for kicks
As the day drew close to hand
For all to view the faceless man
He put out the lights – it’s sad
Now who’s to blame for that ?!
Intimidate twist what you say
With their fine points of law
They lose the case but proficate
And then appeal some more
Subliminal – it’s so absurd
It’s criminal – but can’t be heard
Chorus x 2
I promise to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me God!
You will be on the stand today
They cannot harm you – it’s okay
They will destroy your family
And drag you through Hell and tragedy
Bloodsuckers parasites
