And when they said this wasnÂ't worth its weight in gold We chose to clench our fists and spit in their eyes Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye To all the vultures looking for their chance to pick at our bones A plague, disease Breaking us down Cancer, Red Death ItÂ's in our bloodstream eating us alive The poison pours down on us from high above And seeps in through our skin Ravaging our insides With every antidote we try and each disaster we avert We only add to the price we pay We only add to the price put on our heads Scratch us, scratch us till we bleed Inject the venom straight into our open wounds A plague, disease, cancer, Red Death Infected one by one
