Lyrics Judas Priest – Bloodsuckers

G. Tipton, K.K. Downing

Don’t speak to me of morality
Justice wrong or right
You dig up the dirt ignore the hurt

Conscience free as we bleed
Hypocrisy born from greed
Don’t preach to me of integrity
Or your legal highs

The judge’s thrilled
He’s dressed to kill
On TV every night

Subliminal — so absurd
It’s criminal — yet can’t be heard

Bloodsuckers — how can they sleep at night
Bloodsuckers — nothing but parasites

You will be on the stand today
They cannot harm you — it’s okay
But they will destroy your family
And drag you through hell and tragedy

A circus heading into town
Complete with cameras and the clowns
The First Amendment shot to bits
The world is watching just for kicks

As the day drew close to hand
For all to view the faceless man
He put out the lights — it’s sad
Now who’s to blame for that?

Intimidate twist what you say
With their fine points of law

Subliminal — it’s so absurd
It’s criminal — but can’t be heard

Bloodsuckers — how can they sleep at night
Bloodsuckers — nothing but parasites

Bloodsuckers — how can they sleep at night
Bloodsuckers — nothing but parasites

I swear to tell the truth
The whole truth
And nothing but the truth
So help me God!

You will be on the stand today
They cannot harm you — it’s okay
They will destroy your family
And drag you through hell and tragedy

Bloodsuckers — parasites
