The Devil’s Throat |
A bad captain won’t give out good orders |
A bad sideshow won’t show good mutilations |
A bad emperor won’t redraw good borders (Oh, no) |
A bad tailor won’t make good alterations |
A bad ranger won’t put out good fires |
A bad farmer won’t raise what she needs |
A bad actor won’t announce he retires (Oh, no) |
A bad Samaritan can’t do a good deed |
That’s what there is |
That’s all she wrote |
My friends, you won’t hear good songs flow |
From the devil’s throat |
Good times weren’t designed for bad children |
Good love wasn’t made for them, too |
Good builders won’t build a bad building (Oh, no) |
That’s ain’t something good builders do |
Good girls and bad boys can’t make pleasure |
Good times and bad vibes won’t co-exist |
Good fathers don’t die good teachers won’t lie |
Strong punches won’t be thrown by feeble fists |
That’s what there is |
That’s all she wrote |
My friends, you won’t hear good songs flow |
From the devil’s throat |
Good praise won’t leave you feeling hated |
Good health won’t make you need to stay asleep |
And timely birthday wishes aren’t belated (Oh, no) |
Giving freely can’t be misconstrued as cheap |
Good fingers won’t ignore the farthest reaches |
Dark tendencies won’t bring the light around |
And hard oceans will erode the softest beaches (Oh, yeah) |
This song is not where evil can be found |
That’s what there is |
That’s all she wrote |
My friends, you won’t hear good songs flow |
From the devil’s throat |
