Leech

When I first met you
I had a sense of something wrong
The way you focus on the young ones
The way you blank the rest

The way you ask for favours
wanting public adulation
stepping over anyone
who doesn't pass the test

Leech
You suck the goodness from the innocent fruit
Feeding on the blood of adulation
Leech
We see you vampire up the
sycophantic ladder mister leech
Leech

You rank your 'friends'
by how much heat they give you
I've seen your broken victims
I've seen your shattered lives

Your skills are the epitome
of mediocre, nothing more
Not pretending I'm your friend
Fills me with pride

Leech
Watch out!
Leech
Hide your daughters!
Leech
Hide your fools!
