He always wears his bible belt The collar under his head It's like a noose around his neck His sandaled feet don't touch the ground Ears don't hear a sound Seduction of the innocent Everybody thinks there's always a reason Need a reason to cry You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons And don't know why Say friend If you had to do it all over again Would you pull the trigger aimed at his brain? The padre looks well fed Remember what the good book said Vultures circle overhead Whatever gets you through the night Friends seem to clear your mind Seduction of the innocent Everybody thinks there's always a reason Need a reason to cry You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons And don't know why Say friend If you had to do it all over again Would you pull the trigger aimed at his brain? Everybody thinks there's always a reason Need a reason to cry You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons And don't know why Say friend If you had to do it all over again Would you pull the trigger aimed at his brain?
