"Blight" lyrics

"Blight"

Quickly, I need it!
Shipped in a day, oceans away
I'm willing to pay

To get the best that I can
To get the best that I can, can get
To get the best that I can
The best that I can get

I've got to feed it!
High in demand, short in supply
I'm not a bad guy

I do the best that I can
I do the best that I can, can do
I do the best that I can
The best that I can do

Caterpillars hatching
Swinging on thread with fanatical spread
They need to be fed

To get the most that they can
To get the most that they can, can get
To get the most that they can
The most that they can get

Defoliating, chawed up trees
With skeletal leaves
A many-legged disease

They do the best that they can
They do the best that they can, can do
They do the best that they can
They do the best that they can, can do
They do the best that they can
The best that they can do

Sleeping and sated
Nesting on the bark, evolving in the dark
Prepared to disembark
