Karaoké Spreading the Disease Queensrÿche

She always brings me what I need

Without a beg and sweat and bleed

When we're alone at night

Waiting for the call

She feeds my skin

Sixteen and on the run from home

Found a job at Times Square

Working live S and M shows

Twenty-five bucks a fuck and John's a happy man

She wipes the filth away and it's back on the streets again

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

Spreading the disease everybody needs but no one wants to see

Religion and sex are powerplays

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 can pay 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

Oh spreading the disease everybody needs but no one wants to see

The way society keeps spreading the disease
