"Vultures" lyrics

You wait for death to happen, you loot the bloody wrecks
You con the elderly feeblos up out their pension checks
You kick 'em when they're down, you tell them God is coming
You work the lowly souls, eight-hundred numbers running
You sell what you repossess, you clean them out the nest
You wait for them to try to rest then yank it out their chest
You sell them medicine you make them think they need
You come around the flowers, but you's a dirty weed

Like serpents and snakes, they rattle and bite
Whatever it takes, they get what they like
Always they fake, and though it ain't right
Your money, they make it, then gone in the night
And make no mistake, they do got a heart
It's blacker than coal and hard as a rock
Don't quiver or shake when they takin' part
And breaking apart who swim with the sharks

Pick at the eyes, pick at the brain
Because you're wretchedly sick and deranged
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture
Pick at the heart, pick at the soul
Pick 'em and drag 'em down into your hole
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture

You cut the fingers off, if there's a ring still on 'em
Even if they comin' cursed, you still want 'em
You promised big things is headed for next year
But then you disappear, as soon as the checks clear
You lash out at the poor and tell 'em to give you more
Sell everything off for the church, sleep on the floor
You point the juiciest necks out to all the vampires
But lurking in the dark, you might get bit by spiders

Lizards and bugs, flies and mosquitoes
Hookers with drugs and dirty ass needles
Alleyway cats, possums and rats
Killers with gats attacking with bats
They scums, bums, as anything comes and goes
They pimps with tons of hoes
Dirty like all of those, I suppose
'Cause wicked's the way that they chose

Pick at the eyes, pick at the brain
Because you're wretchedly sick and deranged
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture
Pick at the heart, pick at the soul
Pick 'em and drag 'em down into your hole
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture

Go away, Doc, leave him alone
When will he die? I'll be at home
Who gets his car? Who gets the crib?
Those are his pills? I'm popping the lid
I'd give him a week, what do I get?
Put me in his will, he's moving again
Sign it like him, cut off that beep
There go his morphine, that shit is sweet
Give me a hit, the preacher called
He's trying to get paid, who's feeding his dog?
Fuck that dog, it's beeping again
Oh, that morphine's kicking in
What about his money, he wants the church to have it
How long till he dies, let's check his wallet
Let's pull the plug, do you think he can hear?
He's fucking dying, he doesn't care

Like serpents and snakes, they rattle and bite
Whatever it takes, they get what they like
And they gonna hide, and they gonna run
But they're gonna suffer some Carnival fun
And make no mistake, they do got a heart
It's blacker than coal and hard as a rock
They gonna visit the Carnival grounds
And they gonna perish, we promise you now

Pick at the eyes, pick at the brain
Because you're wretchedly sick and deranged
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture
Pick at the heart, pick at the soul
Pick 'em and drag 'em down into your hole
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture

Pick at the eyes, pick at the brain
Because you're wretchedly sick and deranged
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture
Pick at the heart, pick at the soul
Pick 'em and drag 'em down into your hole
'Cause you's a vulture
A wicked vulture

"Oh, look at that little one with the pigtails! I like that! Look at her with the braces when she smiles! Damn, that's hot! I hope the teachers don't notice me watchin' over here. Oh, look at him on the monkey bars! So limble!" "Now he's heading towards the swings!" "I wonder if he'll notice me pushing him on the swings." "H-hello?"
"Mr Kyle Jeffries?"
"Yes, this is Kyle. Who's this?"
