SONG LYRICS:
On the sidewalk, you see a man can barely stand up on his feet
He holds his open palm out to everyone he meets
No one listens to his words
‘cause only he knows what they mean
It don’t matter, what street your on, he’ll be there on the scene
He might have a Broken body or even more Broken mind
But he’s laughing at the world that he … has left behind
Wan-der-ing back and forth in his own private Hell
He lives on mostly nothing The Maharaja of Muscatel
{SOLO}
You might say to him, “I’m sorry, but I … never carry any cash”.
Or sometimes you’ll just look away to avoid the smell of trash
But if you do dig in your pocket
you’ll grab the coins AND LEAVE the bills
to minimize the tax you pay to the Maharaja of Muscatel
If you see him up ahead soon enough
you can fake a cellphone call
..look into some store window or read a sign up on a wall
you’ll buy a minor victory with a tiny piece of your immortal soul
but what you’re really doing is digging yourself deeper in a hole
Some day life might chew you up and spit you out again
to live in a world of strangers without a single friend
AND WHEN we look at you … all we’ll see is a .. a shattered, empty shell
and we’ll all ignore you, as you ascend your throne the Maharaja of Muscatel
the Maharaja of Muscatel

SONG LYRICS:
VERSE:
Violence comes from evil It will make you run away
cuz Fear is how Nature helps us to live another day
When it happens right in front of us we might stand there in a trance
knowing we should stop it but afraid to take the chance
CHORUS :
‘cuz Evil never sleeps once it’s begun
it’ill keep on coming ’til it gets us, one by one
If you don’t stop it no one will
you got to keep it on the run
And you can’t quit, until the job is done
you can’t quit, until the job is done
VERSE:
When we witness violence inflicted on someone
Horror overwhelms us and it leaves us feelin’ stunned
The next time’s a little easier until eventually
it turns into entertainment and we’re watchin’ it on TV
CHORUS :
Evil never sleeps once it’s begun
it’ill keep on coming ’til it gets us, one by one
If you don’t stop it no one will
you got to keep it on the run
And you can’t quit, until the job is done
you can’t quit, until the job is done
VERSE
There’s a certain kind of evil that consumes us with desire
We trade a bit of conscience for each pleasure we acquire
Disguised within its beauty Evil is concealed
And it’s not our life it’s after but our soul it wants to steal
CHORUS :
‘cuz Evil never sleeps once it’s begun
it’ill keep on coming ’til it gets us, one by one
If you don’t stop it no one will
you got to keep it on the run
And you can’t quit, until the job is done
No, you can’t quit, until the job is done
