Arte K - Evil That Men Do Lyrics

When I was just a boy, Mama said, don't you stray
No fooling 'round, come right on home, and you won't lose your way
At church 'most every day, she said, I'll pray for you
Pray that God will deliver you, from the evil that men do

When I went off to school, I found out what she meant
I suffered at the hands of those, she could not prevent
My teachers never knew, they told us not to fear
All good people, will save us if, any evil might come 'round here

These leaders, they are the worst; they lie with every breath
For a couple o' points in a Harris poll, they'll lead you to your death
And if you should survive, I'll tell you what they'll do
They'll run and hide, as you take the fall, for the evil that they do

Now God may be in Heaven above, but these men have no fear
'Cause I ain't seen God one single time, but the Devil sure lives down here
Three thousand years of holy men, with a secret they all knew
They've never saved a single soul, from the evil that men do
The evil that men do, the evil that men do
