The Good, the Bad and the Lonely Lyrics

Evil is a symptom

Of the lies we feed to our children

Of the eyes we close on the beaten

All those wounds that won't be forgotten

You judge a book by its cover

No time to read or whatever

Eliminate all the thinkers

Knowledge is held by the sinners

And when you don!t understand

You still make sure to take a stand

Nobody knows you just pretend

Meaningless words to make amends

No angel, no villain

No evil and no saint

The soul is ill when

The heart loves in vain

You want to burn the witches

Eat the rich to keep all their riches

Trying to glorify your crutches

Vanity spoils all that it touches

And it's not the truth you seek

And it's not to help the meek

When the treasure's obsolete

It's a pattern you repeat
