Lyrics
Wicked ways
Your road is one of darkness
You just want it negative
Whenever I tried to help
No matter if I persist
Chorus:
Follow your wicked ways
Away from the light
I can`t save your wicked soul
Reason is not your guide
You prefer the alleys
Were light does not come
Darkness and sadness
Arrives when all hope is gone
Chorus:
Follow your wicked ways
Away from the light
I can`t save your wicked soul
Reason is not your guide
Monkeys don't change their habits
When all they know is lying
Take what you believe is yours
You don`t care `n see others dying
Chorus
Your selfish way of going round
Works out wrong better leave this town
Baby things are changing
The only road for you is down
Chorus
I won`t look back baby
To prevent you from falling
Things will have to be that way
The sound of justice calling!
Chorus
