Seduction of the innocent
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
It's like a noose around his neck
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
Ears don't hear a sound
Vultures circle overhead
And don't know why
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
You kiss the hand of the man for all seasons
Would you know the trickery that he's prayin'?
And don't know why
His sandaled feet don't touch the ground
Need a reason to cry
Need a reason to cry
And don't know why
Seduction of the innocent
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Friends sing to clear your mind
The padre looks well fed
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Remember what the good book said
Need a reason to cry
You kiss the hand of a man for all seasons
Say it friend, if you had to do it all over again
Whatever gets you through the night
Everybody thinks there's always a reason
