Always Look for the Bad in People

I always look for the bad in people

Searching for the latent evil

That lies behind the smile and the warm handshake

You know I never believe it

I’m more impressed by a forest protester

Chained to a logger’s bulldozer

Than I am by an unarmed Afghan

Being kicked over a cliff by an SAS soldier

You know they’re no good

You know they are no good

You know they’re no good

Those people are no good

Guess what?

They’re fucking you again

Never again

I always look for the bad in people

Dictators they resemble

It’s all a front that I never do trust

And sure enough, they start to dissemble

The dark parts of their sclerotic hearts

Are bound so tight, they’re never gonna break

But they’re just a bunch of warrior mates

Working from the 1788 template

I’m always looking for the bad within

Let it begin, let it begin

Never gonna let them fool me again

Let’s we forget

I always look for the bad in people

First impressions are my staple

And once I have judged

In my court, there is no appeal

And when they smile, it takes a while

But I see right through

They’re all the same, they make a claim

That I try to disprove

Guess what?

They’re fucking you again

Never again
