Root Of All Evil Lyrics - Singles - Shadow Man

What is the root of all evil, people? 

MONEY!!! 

You think so? Do ya? Do ya really? 

You're only one-seventh right, fuckers 

Let me tell you the truth 

Seven deadly sins, one by one 

Overtaking the world, from sun-up to sundown 

From the daylight to the night sky 

From across the oceans to where the birds fly 

They all have a reason, a single-minded purpose 

A power to become and a destruction for justice 

And they lie at the heart of the root 

The root of all evil that's lurkin afoot 

Love conquers all, or say they say 

But did they mean it like good or the real way 

Love's sin, sin is love for the things of 

Desire for stuff that you don't have 

That you don't need, but you want it 

And you intend to recieve it 

So step back and feel my love 

No love for love, and the question of 

What is the root of all evil 

Is it money, or is it somethin more 

Is it love, or is it somethin less 

Your guess is as good as mine, I guess 

Is love the foundation of earth 

Or is it the destruction of man 

We'll see just what love's worth 

When this turns to a no man's land 

Take greed for a prime example 

Love for money, and all that's it worth 

Buys you gifts, everything you could want 

But did you get it from your own work 

Cause some people will kill for green 

And to have the dollar-made dream 

So they commit sin again and again 

That's love killin in the end 

Now gluttony, that's something to see 

Food and everything warm and cold to drink 

In your belly makin you fat, 

Makin you selfish, makin you act 

Like a pig roostin in mud 

Created from a Thanksgivin feast 

Pray to God, the man above 

That you don't die when you fall asleep 

Envy is love for something else 

That you don't own, but you want it so well 

That you will do anything to have your way 

Kill again, or cheat and blackmail away 

What is the root of all evil 

Is it money, or is it somethin more 

Is it love, or is it somethin less 

Your guess is as good as mine, I guess 

Is love the foundation of earth 

Or is it the destruction of man 

We'll see just what love's worth 

When this turns to a no man's land 

Now sloth, as I lay to sleep 

Ah, sleep feels so good, I could stay for a week 

But then what would happen when I wake? 

Would I do something or go back to take 

Another nap, missin something else 

But I don't care, as long as I don't do nothin 

Cause I don't want to work 

For what I get, it's love for nothin 

Lust is love for gettin in the backseat 

With some chick, and fuck her into next week 

Just for energy, just for kicks 

Cause you need somethin to make your horny ass twitch 

Then there's pride, don't love you too much 

Cause then no one seems worth your love 

Because you love yourself more than 

Anybody else, they can't even stand 

Up to you, you're so goddamn great 

That's exactly what you'd believe 

Cause that's pride, taking control 

Making you think you're so fuckin cool 

What is the root of all evil 

Is it money, or is it somethin more 

Is it love, or is it somethin less 

Your guess is as good as mine, I guess 

Is love the foundation of earth 

Or is it the destruction of man 

We'll see just what love's worth 

When this turns to a no man's land 

Finally, there's wrath 

Destruction, love of anarchy 

Kill them all, that is your path 

And then your love will be complete 

What is the root of all evil 

Is it money, or is it somethin more 

Is it love, or is it somethin less 

Your guess is as good as mine, I guess 

Is love the foundation of earth 

Or is it the destruction of man 

We'll see just what love's worth 

When this turns to a no man's land 

It's love that's the root of all evil 

It's love that's the root of all evil 

It's love that's the root of all evil 

It's love that's the root of all evil 

Love is the root of all evil
