Lyrics
The Disease
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My life's the disease
That could always change
With comparative ease
Just given the chance
My life is the earth
'Twixt muscle and spade
I wait for the worth
Digging for just one chance
As prospects diminish
As nightmares swell
Some pray for heaven
While we live in hell
My life's the disease
My life's the disease
If you get yours from heaven
Don't waste them
If you get yours from heaven
Don't waste them
If you get yours from heaven
