See them die there
homeless in the night
Walk on by them
just don’t look in their eyes
Keep on walking
keep your purses near
They’re demons stalking
you have a right to fear
Pick up your pace
and dream of home
And dream of all
the things you own
And close your eyes
and close your mind
And close your heart
as you walk on by
And close your eyes
and close your soul
And everything you see will go
They are not real
they cannot feel
So does it matter
if they’re killed?

They’re not alive
(You’re not alive)

See those lovers
the love they have’s not right
Loving each other
out in the broad daylight
Sick & decrepit
they have no right to live
They’re all infected
and they’re out to get your kids
So close your doors
and pray to god
And close your heart
and call it love
You turn your back
when they’re attacked
Your guilt of silence
a murderous act
You wash your hands
you wash your soul
You wash your guil
for the lies you hold
You think they’re wrong?
You think you’re right?
You think you’ll go
to heaven when you die?

They’re not alive?
You’re not alive.
