Good And Evil

Eddie Vedder


Oh, when you look in the mirror
Oh, tell me what do you see?
An older woman showering in victims blood?
Or have yourself you deceived?
Do your rich accommodations
Numb you to what you believe?
Oh, for the love of a gun
You’re like a bullet aimed to deceive

You talked yourself, you talked yourself
You’re living a lie
You talked yourself, you talked yourself
You self-hypnotized
You love your wealth, you steal yourself
And dare criticize, you
Get some sleep, I hope you dream
Your own death tonight, girl

I hear you’re gone on adventure
I hear you’re living the dream
Oh, with your poor excuse for a husband
A safari scene
Oh, look at you dressed up as hunters
Like some fucked-up Halloween
Oh, a majestic creature and a bullet
And a dour queen

You talked yourself, you talked yourself
You’re living a lie
You talked yourself, you talked yourself
You self-hypnotized
You love your wealth, you steal yourself
And dare criticize, you
Get some sleep, I hope you dream
Your own death tonight, girl

And I wake up with forgiveness every day in my heart
But for you, I have not got any, dear
Oh, you felt just fine looking the elephant in the eye
You pulled the trigger, you're fucking sick
I wonder why?

I wish you well, I wish you Hell, I wish you were bygone
But in your dreams, die in your dreams so you have a wake-up
I wish you well, I wish your death and witness your karma
Change your ways and change your aim, don’t live in denial
