Intro verse 1 Wishing wells are fine in fairy tales But they've got no business here Where evil's very real and children are known to just disappear verse 2 Magic spells still hold no currency Where people are lining up To sell their dignity when reality's a show, they'll crawl through mud I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well verse 3 To wish me well It comes as no surprise All that rises to the top Before our very eyes with each generation expectation drops I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well To wish me well Instrumental verse 4 Tell me when, when will the truth prevail To clear away all the smug and smirking juveniles and save us from all the blood thirsty thugs I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well I fear sometimes, we ain't got a hope in hell I've half a mind to hang the next fool to wish me well Outro fade out
