No Good Way

No Good Way to Do a Bad Thing by Britt Connors
You can coat it with sweet honey, a little bourbon to wash it down
Distract them with your money, or hide behind your thorny crown
Pretend that you're the kind one for sparing some poor soul
But really you're the blind one for denying your true role
(Chorus)
So you'll keep on testifying, the finest preacher in his church
But you can't take away the sting
You could keep talking and talking until you turn blue
But you can't make it right
'Cause there Ain't No Good Way to Do a Bad Thing
You can be armed with good intentions, a moral compass true
But when lies are your inventions, you won't get salvation you feel you're due
A bitter pill to swallow when you're the villain in the scene
No righteous path to follow, no break that could be clean
(Chorus)
But you'll keep on testifying, the finest preacher in his church
But you can't take away the sting
You could keep talking and talking until you turn blue
But you can't make it right...
'Cause there Ain't No Good Way to Do a Bad Thing
No there ain't no good way to do a bad thing...
(Bridge)
ohh.....
Now don't pretend that you're the victim
Some helpless puppet pulled by strings
'Cause there Ain't No Good Way to Do a Bad Thing
No there ain't No Good Way to Do a Bad Thing
There still ain't No Good Way to Do a Bad Thing
No, there Ain't... No Good Way... to Do a Bad thing
