lyrics

In the square
I stood a public disgrace
They let the women and the children
Spit right in my face
I've been charged
With corrupting the youth
(Is it true? Is it true? Is it true)
Oh no, no, no, no

Why should I confess?
Do you find me afraid?
The citizens have cast their votes
And a choice was made
Advised by men
To hold my tongue
Though I never harmed anyone
No I never harmed anyone
Anyone at all

And alas…
And you know
Oh, alas…

I would rather die than live your lie
I would rather die than live your lie
I would rather take the poison, oh my judges
Drink the poison, oh my brothers
Take the poison
Drink the poison

"When a madness has entered with holy prayers and rites, and by inspired utterances found a way of deliverance for those who are in need, and he who has part in this gift, and is truly possessed and duly out of his mind, is by the use of purifications and mysteries made whole, and exempt from evil, future as well as present, and has a release from the calamity which was afflicting him"

No evil can happen to a good man

Happy Ending
by Wax Idols

supported by 16 fans who also own “No Evil Can Happen to a Good Man”

Musicians can work a lifetime and never achieve writing that 1 great song. Wax Idol's Hether Fortune & co. wrote 5 of them on Happy Ending. "Crashing," "Scream," "Belong," "Heaven Knows" & "Mausoleum" are songs that you'll have playing in your car 3 years from now on a roadtrip with a friend & they'll be like "Who is this?!" "Scream" - I have headphones on as I'm writing this. Go on and listen with me. At the 2:45 mark, doesn't that emotional outpouring of Dylan Thomas give you goosebumps? Damn. brethelm
