Queensrÿche - Spreading the Disease [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
She always brings me what I need
Without, I beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
Waiting for the call
She feeds my skin

[Verse 2]
Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in Times Square
Working live S&M shows
Twenty-five bucks a fuck
And John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away
And is back on the streets again

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
[Guitar solo]


[Spoken, instrumentation ceases except for percussion]
Religion and sex are power plays;
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 get paid 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

[Extended Chorus]
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease

[Outro]
