Pain

Since I was a kid I've seen greedy people
just grabbing all they could take
I promised myself I'd never become like them
I can feel they're closing up on me, closer than I ever thought
how could I have been so dumb, why didn't I see it, feel it,
smell it, taste it
it's only them coming from all directions
walking all over me again and again
they're feeding off your kindness, squeezing life right out of you
like a vampire sucks you dry, you cannot run and hide
if you give them a helping hand, they will take your whole life
without thinking twice, the only thing they want is
more and more and more
now I got a parasite into my life
I didn't see it coming 'til it almost broke me down
it's only them, you don't give - you're a taker
it's a matter of the size of your wallet
and the money that you're making
it's only them and nothing is sacred
they don't care if you break your neck
as long as they'll make it
it's only them coming from all directions
walking all over me again and again
a tattoo burned on my skin, a disease without a cure
like a blind man running in circles on a dead end street
now I got a parasite into my life
I didn't see it coming 'til it almost broke me down
it's only them, you don't give - you're a taker
it's a matter of the size of your wallet
and the money that you're making
it's only them and nothing is sacred
they don't care if you break your neck
as long as they'll make it
ah, it's only them...
ah, it's only them
