Soft Cell

The Best Way To Kill

Soft Cell


Dishonesty breeds like poison in an unhealed wound 
Multiply tell a little lie 
To pull the wool 
Over god's little eye 
Before he makes up his mind 
And that wouldn't do 
Life is one long Play For Today 
The one that uses all the four-letter words 
The one that everybody pretends 
They've never never heard 
Oh yeah 

And it gets in my skin 
And I find myself fitting a form 
That is worn like a badge on a blazer at school 
Tear it off rip it up 
Stick your 2 fingers up at the world 
And the lying little worms 
That would take you for a fool 
For your life has to be this way 
And you can't say this 
And you can't watch that 
It'll darken your mind little child - 
A moral straightjacket to stop you running completely wild 
Oh yeah 

And it's nice when being yourself behind a locked door 
Talk in whispers when you're scared out of your mind 
By the law 
Who leave no bruises but the ones in your heart 
And they're the ones that really hurt 
Yeaaahhh 

The debate of the day, win a long holiday 
You at home can decide what would be the best way to kill 
The best way to kill 
And you don't stand a chance in hell 
But you go down fighting to the sound of the bell 
Losers all in the eyes of the men with the pens 
But winners all in the end 

The debate of the day, win a long holiday

Winners all in the end
