Amongst Us

How do we know they are amongst us Are they the ones who do not believe Those truthful earnest things we believe Aren't they the ones who try to deceive Our youth into their filthy naughty deeds Do they mock us and hate us yet mooch Will they steal our children and eat the pooch Do their wicked women tempt us to smooch Do they celebrate without drinking hooch Damn their souls to eternal hell Shut the gates before they swell And overtake us against our will For this we need more then popping pills Do they look like us do they think like us Do they eat like us do they meet like us Do they laugh like us do they cry like us Do they fear like us do they scare like us Will they accept and simulate Will they turn before it's to late Will they defy and seal their fate Will they leave as we close the gate Are they the ones that strangely smell Are they the ones that seem unreal Are they the ones who cannot feel Are they the ones we must kill How do we know they are amongst us
