Tom Waits - Everything Goes to Hell 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 And 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
