Joseph Arthur - Cockroach lyrics

You're putting poison here

You're putting poison here

And now you're a cockroach

Crawling on bones

Pretending your war

Has already been won

You never give anything

To any human being

Unless they

Give you something in return

If you get burned

You're gonna burn

And when you finally go away

I'm already gone

And when you finally say what you say

I'm singing this song

Your heads in quite a fix

The demon you never resist is coming

And he's leaning against your front door

The neighbors are asking you what it's all for

And still you could never admit

That maybe you could have prevented destruction

As it came out of your very core

My friend you are starting to become a bore

And when you finally go away

I'm already gone

And when you finally say what you say

I'm singing this song
