Everything Goes To Hell

Everything Goes To Hell - Tom Waits (汤姆·威兹)

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 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 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 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

Everything goes to hell anyway

Oh everything goes to hell anyway
