Lyrics
I'm not pretending, so don't ask why
Your time is coming and that's no lie
You're the exception that proves that rule
From where I'm standing, you're nobody's fool
I've been a bad boy, so do what you please
Talking of pleasure, speaking Japanese
There's no good or evil, only different degrees
Hope springs eternal when you're down on your knees
You read the papers, I watch TV
I'm tired of living in history
You've had your pleasure now here comes the pain
As sure as sunshine follows the rain
Under my direction, let me see you blaspheme
Looking for a traitor, if you know what I mean
Overnight sensations just fade away
Nothing lasts forever, I don't care what you say
Immaculate conception, here's a word to the wise
If there's no opposition, why compromise?
There's no good or evil, only different degrees
Hope springs eternal when you're down on your knees
Let's put our hands together and deal a pack of lies
We won't live forever, why compromise?
