Lyrics Todd Rundgren

Todd Rundgren

Cast The First Stone

I had a vicious thought, a vicious thought

Like you never had a vicious thought before

Like you never in your life had a vicious thought

before

Not once in your life

Cast the first stone, cast the first stone

Let the righteous among you cast the first stone

I told a pointless lie, a pointless lie

Like you never told a pointless lie before

To make yourself look good, you never told a pointless

lie before

Not once in your life

I did a half-assed job, a half-assed job

Like you never in your life did a half-assed job

I was a fool for a kiss, a fool for a kiss

Like you never in your life was a fool for a kiss

Please do not complain to me of moral relativity

Spitefulness induces me to go on with the litany

Please do not complain to me of moral relativity

The crimes of others you deplore

But of yourself, you don't keep score

I did a sickening thing, a sickening thing

Like you never did a sickening thing before

Like your body never made you do a sickening thing

before

I cursed an evil god, an evil god

Like you never cursed an evil god before

Like you never in your life cursed an evil god before

I screwed over a friend, I screwed over a friend

Like you never in your life screwed over a friend

I had a pompous attitude, a pompous attitude

Like you never in your life had a pompous attitude
