Born of Contagion

Crawling up from the depths down below

Infect those who dwell above

Drowning in desperation and need

Cesspit, trying to get out

Suffering, people live in hunger

Famine, inadequacy

Poverty, young and old are dying

Defect, this life it must be

When your path is laid for you

Those born of contagion

Stripped of self regard

Those born of contagion

What went wrong

Turn our head, from the low bottom line

Look down on those who are poor

Cruelty, people treated as swine

Disdain, and life is unsure

Self respect is a thing of the past

Morose, in body and mind

Ominous, pray for death to come fast

Mistake, from life I resign

Those born of contagion

Stripped of self regard

Those born of contagion

Where was god

We show no humanity

Life of calamity

Expose our iniquity

Foul atrocities

Foul atrocities

When your path is laid for you

Those born of contagion

Stripped of self regard

Those born of contagion

Wait to die
