Текст песни The Devil's Throat - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

A bad captain won't give out good orders
A bad sideshow won't show good mutilations
A bad emperor won't redraw good borders (Oh, no)
A bad tailor won't make good alterations
A bad ranger won't put out good fires
A bad farmer won't raise what she needs
A bad actor won't announce he retires (Oh, no)
A bad Samaritan can't do a good deed
That's what there is
That's all she wrote
My friends, you won't hear good songs flow
From the devil's throat
Good times weren't designed for bad children
Good love wasn't made for them, too
Good builders won't build a bad building (Oh, no)
That's ain't something good builders do
Good girls and bad boys can't make pleasure
Good times and bad vibes won't co-exist
Good fathers don't die good teachers won't lie
Strong punches won't be thrown by feeble fists
That's what there is
That's all she wrote
My friends, you won't hear good songs flow
From the devil's throat
Good praise won't leave you feeling hated
Good health won't make you need to stay asleep
And timely birthday wishes aren't belated (Oh, no)
Giving freely can't be misconstrued as cheap
Good fingers won't ignore the farthest reaches
Dark tendencies won't bring the light around
And hard oceans will erode the softest beaches (Oh, yeah)
This song is not where evil can be found
That's what there is
That's all she wrote
My friends, you won't hear good songs flow
From the devil's throat
