Everything Goes To Hell Lyrics - Blood Money - Tom Waits

Why be sweet, why be careful, why he kind? 

A man has only one thing on his mind 

Why ask palitely, why go lightly, 

Why say please? 

They only want to get you on your 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, ce 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 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... 

I only want to hear your purr and to hear 

Ou 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 of what you think 

There are few things I never could believe...
