Tom Waits - Everything Goes To Hell 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 your knees!There's a few things that I never could believe:A woman when she weeps,A merchant when he swears,A thief who says he'll payA 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, ce la vie.Shall I return to shore or swim back out to sea?The world don't care what a sailor does in town,It's all hanging in the windows by the pound.I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good;Everything goes to hell, anyway!I only want to hear you purr and to hear you moan.You have another man who brings the money home!I don't want dishes in the sink,Don't ask me what I feel or what I think.There's a few things that I never could believe:A woman when she weeps,A merchant when he swears,A thief who says he'll payA 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!Everything goes to hell, anyway!Oh, everything goes to hell, anyway!
