Lyrics Parasites & Ghosts - Vandaveer

Parasites & Ghosts

Wealthy is just another word
And kingdoms are royally absurd
If you hold your hands up high
And you push all your chips in
Sooner or later you will win
Beatnicks and preachers can be friends
Presidents and kings are only men
Cast your weapons and your words
Toss your toys in a trash bin
You’ll end up just the same in the end
Dungeons and castles are only walls
Prisons and palaces will fall
Despite the posessions that we boast
We’re all parasites and ghosts
And our planet’s just a temporary host
Funerals give pause to fallen friends
And enemies and hearts make warm ammends
For a moment you can see how love comes easily
When you realize that your heart is all you spend
