Root Of All Evil by Shadow Man
Root Of All Evil lyrics
What is the root of all evil, people?
MONEY!!!
You think so? Do ya? Do ya really?
You're only one-seventh right, fuckers
Let me tell you the truth
Seven deadly sins, one by one
Overtaking the world, from sun-up to sundown
From the daylight to the night sky
From across the oceans to where the birds fly
They all have a reason, a single-minded purpose
A power to become and a destruction for justice
And they lie at the heart of the root
The root of all evil that's lurkin afoot
Love conquers all, or say they say
But did they mean it like good or the real way
Love's sin, sin is love for the things of
Desire for stuff that you don't have
That you don't need, but you want it
And you intend to recieve it
So step back and feel my love
No love for love, and the question of
What is the root of all evil
Is it money, or is it somethin more
Is it love, or is it somethin less
Your guess is as good as mine, I guess
Is love the foundation of earth
Or is it the destruction of man
We'll see just what love's worth
When this turns to a no man's land
Take greed for a prime example
Love for money, and all that's it worth
Buys you gifts, everything you could want
But did you get it from your own work
Cause some people will kill for green
And to have the dollar-made dream
So they commit sin again and again
That's love killin in the end
Now gluttony, that's something to see
Food and everything warm and cold to drink
In your belly makin you fat,
Makin you selfish, makin you act
Like a pig roostin in mud
Created from a Thanksgivin feast
Pray to God, the man above
That you don't die when you fall asleep
Envy is love for something else
That you don't own, but you want it so well
That you will do anything to have your way
Kill again, or cheat and blackmail away
What is the root of all evil
Is it money, or is it somethin more
Is it love, or is it somethin less
Your guess is as good as mine, I guess
Is love the foundation of earth
Or is it the destruction of man
We'll see just what love's worth
When this turns to a no man's land
Now sloth, as I lay to sleep
Ah, sleep feels so good, I could stay for a week
But then what would happen when I wake?
Would I do something or go back to take
Another nap, missin something else
But I don't care, as long as I don't do nothin
Cause I don't want to work
For what I get, it's love for nothin
Lust is love for gettin in the backseat
With some chick, and fuck her into next week
Just for energy, just for kicks
Cause you need somethin to make your horny ass twitch
Then there's pride, don't love you too much
Cause then no one seems worth your love
Because you love yourself more than
Anybody else, they can't even stand
Up to you, you're so goddamn great
That's exactly what you'd believe
Cause that's pride, taking control
Making you think you're so fuckin cool
What is the root of all evil
Is it money, or is it somethin more
Is it love, or is it somethin less
Your guess is as good as mine, I guess
Is love the foundation of earth
Or is it the destruction of man
We'll see just what love's worth
When this turns to a no man's land
Finally, there's wrath
Destruction, love of anarchy
Kill them all, that is your path
And then your love will be complete
What is the root of all evil
Is it money, or is it somethin more
Is it love, or is it somethin less
Your guess is as good as mine, I guess
Is love the foundation of earth
Or is it the destruction of man
We'll see just what love's worth
When this turns to a no man's land
It's love that's the root of all evil
It's love that's the root of all evil
It's love that's the root of all evil
It's love that's the root of all evil
Love is the root of all evil
