A Bad Man by Tony Winters Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I didn't make it too hard, did I? Did I really?
Come on, be honest with me
I've never been free I
I've come a long way but I knew how it would be
Fall in line with misery
Like a king torn from his queen
[PreChorus]
I hate this; this madness
I've come this far just to be
Silenced by smoke, my soul
You are the machine!
[Verse 2]
I hope it's all a lie, a brutally honest lie
Like the jokes you used to tell
On my deathbed I will act surprised
Be my guest; I will tell you all thе rest
And I'll show you that I'm not just gonna die
[Chorus]
I'll be right hеre
Just east of the garden burning down
Writing, "Abel, why'd you die?
Why'd you have to go and do
A stupid thing like that?"
It's not fair!
Come on, now, it's burning in the atmosphere!
[Verse 3]
And now I see it like a thousand stars above
Like my ancestors once did
And my children will again
It's a sign; can't you see
God doesn't care about me
And he never, never, never, never did
[PreChorus]
I hate this; this madness
I've come this far just to be
Silenced by greed and jealousy
I am the machine!
And I'll show you that my world is just a dream!
[Chorus]
I'll be right here
Just east of the garden Yahweh found
Writing, "Abel, why'd you die?
Why'd you have to go and do
A stupid thing like that?"
Dammit, it's not fair!
Wake up, now, it's burning in the atmosphere!
[Bridge]
Now I'm running ever faster
Than I've ever run before;
How could I refuse to answer
When the caller is my Lord?
He's the king in father's castle
He's the ghost in every dream
Now I'm tattered, I've been used
And yeah, he's left this mark on me!
What a guy! I have to thank him
For this pretty mess I'm in
What a guy! Oh, don't it go to show
That there's a price for sin
Raise your glass to the unworthy;
They've been biting at their skin
Raise your glass to all the dirty
They've been cursed with mortal sin
Raise your glass to the unworthy!
They've been cursed with all my sin!
(Don't go looking for me)
[Chorus]
I'll be right here
Just east of the garden burning down
Writing, "Abel, why'd you die?
Why'd you have to go and do
A stupid thing like that?"
It's not fair!
Come on, now, it's burning in the atmosphere!
Just east of the garden Yahweh found
Writing, "Abel, why'd you die?
Why'd you have to go and do
A stupid thing like that?"
Dammit, it's not fair!
Wake up, now, it's burning in the atmosphere!
I didn't make it too hard, did I? Did I really?
Come on, be honest with me
I've never been free I
I've come a long way but I knew how it would be
Fall in line with misery
Like a king torn from his queen
[PreChorus]
I hate this; this madness
I've come this far just to be
Silenced by smoke, my soul
