Gangrene - 1979 / Live At KSAN Concert , San Francisco - Utopia

If it's dangerous illegal, sick, strange, or obscene

You can get it from the man if your money is green

He says, "You can have it"

Knows once you get it you won't be satisfied

But the things that my brothers try to do to their brains

The thought makes my blood begin to boil in my veins

But it's a case of we want it right when we want it

They can't be satisfied

Oh no gangrene, dying one inch at a time

Gangrene, you sell your freedom by minutes

Flesh by the pound

I got a mind of my own and I need to enjoy

Something that the mercenaries can't destroy

I don't know where to find it but till I get it

I can't be satisfied

So we take to the road like a thief on the run

Regroup underground and find our own kind of fun

But seems whenever we find it

Somebody buys it we can't be satisfied

Oh no gangrene, dying one inch at a time

Gangrene, that's all the vampires leave behind

Now think, fifty million kids with nothing better to do

Than sit around like a zombie and stare at the tube

They'll sap your strength and suck your soul and feed you the trash

Till your mind is left blank and your dreams have been smashed

Gangrene, dying one inch at a time

Gangrene, you sell your freedom by minutes

Flesh by the pound

Gangrene, dying one inch at a time

Got a bad piece of Gangrene

That's all the vampires leave behind

Gangrene, yeah gangrene

Got a bad piece of Gangrene

Yeah gangrene, got a bad piece of Gangrene

Yeah gangrene
