Dirty Worms
Act of God Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Black slime has covered the planet
The parasite on it
He guzzles and destroys
And it's name is the Man

He plagues on the Earth
A thorn in flesh dirty worms
They don't have laws
The people the f**ked mob

They have no allies only foes
They despise power of nature
Hold sacred only the dead god
The specimen of hypocrisy and lie
Greedy bastards - defective race
Ideas are poor, desires are stupid




Miserable people, the mankind soon will
Gobble up itself from the inside
