John Wesley Harding - When All The Bad Things in Your Life Tur текст песни

Those resourceful romeos have all revealed

Youre the juliet who couldnt be genteel

All the parents looked askance with much displeasure

As you dared to dance off with their little treasures

And the teachers who preached anguish and abstention

Treated you with distant condescension

Patronised your youthful indignation

With their idiotic indoctrination

Then gave you bad grades just for being clever

And youre qualified to be in debt for ever

And youll wonder what you did

And youll think you dont deserve it

When the bad things, bad things

When all the bad things in your life turn to worth it

All the candidates who claim to know your fears

Shit silence like its verbal diarrhoea

Imply that your suggestions are so tired

Like they aspired to something higher

They gonna sack you when you give them the wrong answers

Or for failing to respond to his advances

And youre faced with a senators enquiry

Sequestering your private life in diaries

Those wretched romeos now politicians

Telling all the truth but with omissions

And youll think that youve been blessed

And you thought that you were cursed

When all the bad things, bad things

When all the bad things in your life turn to worth it

The pages fly, the calendar gets thinner

Springs turns into summer into winter

Preachers will illuminate their candles

On romeos with trousers round their ankles

The politicians surrender to indictment

The teachers sacked for lack of excitement

But these are not the reasons you endure

Revenge could never please a heart so pure

You thought your reward would be in heaven

Or a day job at the 7-11

While everyone around you ran for cover

You found a secret, now your name is love

And youll wonder what you did

And youll think you dont deserve it

When all the bad things, bad things

When all the bad things in your life turn to worth it

When all the bad things in your life turn to worth it
