Most heavily influenced by the chapter focusing on HIV in "The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance" by Laurie Garrett
lyrics
They told me my whole life
There was a god shaped hole
And now I know there's not
But I still feel like a bleeding fool
In my heart
They taught me not to play
All sorts of naked games
Said it would cause me pain
And nothing else
Yeah, they were right 'bout that
Because they made it so
Two minutes tunneling
Into that festering hole
In my heart
They locked my friends away
They say it's for the best
He smoked a little grass
He must atone
I know another friend
Still free as birds of flight
His dealer ran all out
Of potions safe to try
For his heart
His veins got thicker with
Each dose of medicine
He couldn't share his pain
The heavy weight of sin
In his heart
There will stay a god shaped hole
As long as they still keep that muck and filth around
By sending heavy hearts into the underground
The great society of old
Will still be there to promise if the poor abound
Send the Haitians, tweakers, homos, bleeders as a sacrifice into the underground
