Songtext Cockroach Joseph Arthur

Cockroach

Youre putting poison here
Youre putting poison here
And now youre 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
Youre gonna burn

And when you finally go away
Im already gone
And when you finally say what you say
Im singing this song

Your heads in quite a fix
The demon you never resist is coming
And hes leaning against your front door
The neighbors are asking you what its 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
Im already gone
And when you finally say what you say
Im singing this song
