Lyrics

Oh you perverse generation
Your wisdom has deluded you
You think no one sees what you do
Oh you perverse generation
The saints in heaven weep for you
If you close your heart you are surely doomed
Oh you perverse generation
In the dead of night a murder's done
The police go out and catch someone
While the slayer hides frightened in the dark
An innocent man is under guard
By deceit one hopes to save his life
By another hanging for his crime
Oh you perverse generation
Your knowledge has deluded you
You think no one sees what you do
Oh you perverse generation
The saints in heaven weep for you
If you close your heart you are surely doomed
Oh you perverse generation
I have heard one murder with his tongue
Another's thoughts fire like a gun
Hell's bells ring far and wide
There is no earthly place to hide
The wicked many, the righteous few
But one's already hung for you
Oh you perverse generation
