This song shows gives us a glimpse into the mind of Tom Waits or perhaps the character that Tom is singing as. He says that he sees no good in the world and that no ones deserves to be saved and at the end of life “Everything Goes to Hell”
Why be sweet? Why be careful? Why be kind?
A man has only one thing on his mind
Why ask politely? Why go lightly? Why say please?
They only want to get you on your knees
There's a few things I never could believe
A woman when she weeps
A merchant when he swears
A thief who says he'll pay
A lawyer when he cares
A snake when he is sleeping
A drunkard when he prays
I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good
And everything goes to hell anyway
Laissez-faire, mi amour, c'est la vie
Shall I return to shore or swim back out to sea?
The world don't care what a sailor does in the town
It's hanging in the windows by the pound
I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good
And everything goes to hell anyway
I only want to hear your purr and to hear you moan
You have another man who brings the money home
I don't want dishes in the sink
Don't ask me what I feel or what I think
There's a few things I never could believe
A woman when she weeps
A merchant when he swears
A thief who says he'll pay
A lawyer when he cares
A snake when he is sleeping
A drunkard when he prays
I don't believe you go to heaven when you're good
Everything goes to hell anyway
Everything goes to hell anyway
Everything goes to hell anyway
