Great Plague
They've occupied my body
Like a bank on a foreclosed home
They lifted the gate on the mortgage rate
And it's my manhood on loan
And doing right feels so wrong
When doing wrong comes naturally
And baby sometimes being a man
Is like having a disease
And all of the innocent
Are just victims of circumstance
When all attempts at making love
Are entwined with violence
And love is the cure but you cant take it with force
You only get it asking please
And baby sometimes being a man
Is like having a disease
And it's the elders who hand me this tarnished crown
They say "Boy shine it up"
But I'm going to melt it down
There was an outbreak in Egypt
And epidemic in Rome
Maybe it's what the father teaches to the son
Maybe it's a mutated chromosome
But this bug has been going around
Since ancient history
And baby sometimes being a man
Is like having a disease
Like a bank on a foreclosed home
They lifted the gate on the mortgage rate
And it's my manhood on loan
And doing right feels so wrong
When doing wrong comes naturally
And baby sometimes being a man
Is like having a disease
And all of the innocent
Are just victims of circumstance
When all attempts at making love
Are entwined with violence
And love is the cure but you cant take it with force
You only get it asking please
And baby sometimes being a man
Is like having a disease
And it's the elders who hand me this tarnished crown
They say "Boy shine it up"
But I'm going to melt it down
There was an outbreak in Egypt
And epidemic in Rome
Maybe it's what the father teaches to the son
Maybe it's a mutated chromosome
But this bug has been going around
Since ancient history
And baby sometimes being a man
Is like having a disease
