Lyrics
You sold your soul for a lump of coal
She's blacker than the night
Didn't think you'd be needing it
But your thoughts ring out of fright
But you never know who you might meet
On the street where the church bells ring to a different beat
Is it joy, is it pain
Is it rusted in the rain
Do you really think I need it
Is it just plain evil
Heard a man who had a plan
To save the wretched world
Nationwide genocide
To betray boys and girls
Like a one-eyed jack and suicide king
Look out for beady eyes I think you know what I mean, hey
Is it good, is it bad
Is it bitter, is it sad
Is it inside all you people
Is it just plain evil
You've got a lot to learn
You've got a lot to change
You've got nothing to lose but a ball and chain
(Let go of my head, gonna make it the night
Let go of my head, gonna make it through the day)
Is it good, is it bad
Is it bitter, is it sad
Do you really think I need it
Is it just plain evil
