Gangrene - Todd Rundgren, 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»

He 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

Gangrene, dying one inch at a time

Gangrene, 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 'til 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

Gangrene, dying one inch at a time

Gangrene, that’s all the vampires leave behind

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 their trash

'til your mind is left blank

And your dreams have been smashed
