The Most Dangerous One of All
Blood sucking parasites
so small, almost unnoticeable.
They hide among the green thrush,
behind the words,
behind the lies,
behind the buys.
Funny thing about parasites,
you dont realize they've attached to you,
how they eat you alive,
how they leave you bone dry.
Is the price really worth it?
Is the world we live in so cruel?
When did the profit overtake life?
When did greed overtake kindness?
Do not stand with these people,
open your eyes, take the medicine of truth.
Funny thing about bloodsucking parasites,
once you know they are there,
once you fight against them,
oh how quick they die.
They shrivel, they whimper,
and they die...
Oh the irony...
Do not stand for these fakes amoung you,
those who hide behind the green thrush,
behind the words,
behind the lies,
behind the buys.
Blood sucking parasites.
