lyrics

was an honest mistake right from the start
but ya pounded away at the sentry-less gates of my empire til part
death soon entered my castle and he left his mark
on the wings of a thousand mosquitoes that flew through the dark

but ya cant fight what ya cant see
thats just common sense
science, religion, and nursery rhymes were all powerless
to your plague

so go check my temperature
and check your little darlings too
cuz once ya come down with it
no ones free til a-hundred-and-two
degrees (of separation)
all the differences between me and you
but its all the same
this too shall fall
nothing new

validated and prized you applied for a license to kill
the lucky ones, drenched in broken-heart rolled up their sleeves with skill
and all roads now lead to my crumblin' civilization
pharmaceuticals had their day in the sun
they now rot in my basement

but ya cant fight what ya cant see
thats just common sense
and a siege left my people hungry and powerless
to your plague

so go check my temperature
and check your little darlings too
cuz once ya come down with it
no ones free til a-hundred-and-two
degrees (of separation)
all the differences between me and you
but its all the same
this too shall fall
nothing new
