Spreading The Disease Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Rushed 

Cover art for Spreading The Disease lyrics by Queensrÿche

This song is literally about Mary and her prostitution phase, I am not seeing much hidden until it actually gets into the low beat with no guitar. The disease I believe is sexually transmitted and everyone pays Mary. Maybe I'm being superficial but I thought of it as just her being paid to do it and how she was used her whole life. I mean come on, "spreading the disease that everybody needs" an STD, but "no one wants to see" what they've become as well as public sex
