Everything Goes To Hell lyrics
Song information
Artist: Tom Waits Album: Blood Money
Lyrics
Why be sweet, why be careful, why be kind? A man has only one thing on his mind Why ask politely, why go lightly, why say please? They only want to get you on their knees There are a few things I never could believe A woman when she weeps A merchant when he swears A thief who says he'll pay A lawyer when he cares A snake when he is sleeping A drunkard when he prays I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good Everything goes to hell, anyway.. Laissez-faire mi amour, se la vie Shall I return to shore or swim back out to sea? The world don't care what a soldier does in town It's all hanging in the windows by the pound There are a few things I never could believe.. Chorus I only want to hear you purr and to hear you moan There is another man who brings the money home I don't want dishes in the sink Please don't tell me what you feel or what you think There are few things I never could believe.. Chorus
