Seduction of the Innocent

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?
