Sheena is a champion of self-reliance As soon as she needs it she knows just where the knife is Her fingers aren't so fast anymore It's been 29 years since she came to these shores Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Send her back to the sea, they cried But Sheena spat bile 'til they let her lie She claims she's working for the Lord But you know what she's looking for Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena's ambition sneers at your routine And behind that glass she sits, cold If Sheena was buried, no one would care She hates everyone, she knows no one Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Sheena is a parasite Send her back across the sea Back across the sea
