Joseph Arthur

You're putting poison here
You're putting poison here
And now you're 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 you're gonna burn
And when you finally go away I'm already gone
And when you finally say what you say I'm singing this song
Your head's in quite a fix
The demon you never resist is coming
And he's leaning against your front door
The neighbors are asking you what it's 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 I'm already gone
And when you finally say what you say I'm singing this song
