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
