Lyrics

You want the guilty to be punished

You desire punishment for the guilty.

You want to hang them dead

You wish to see them dead, executed.

The road is paved with good intentions

The path forward seems righteous but leads to a negative outcome.

And hell lie straight ahead

An impending doom or undesirable consequence awaits.


I've got night for day

Living in darkness or turmoil when daylight is expected.

I will find my own way

Determined to discover one's own path despite challenges.

I've got night for day

Continuing to experience darkness or negativity instead of light or positivity.


I've got things to say

Having thoughts or opinions to express.

I will say them my way

Asserting the right to express those thoughts in one's own manner.

I got night for day

Persisting in the experience of darkness or negativity.


There will never be

There will never be a realization or understanding from others.

They will never see

Others will never comprehend or perceive.

I will have it my way

Insistence on having things done in one's own way.

I will have night for day

Insistence on experiencing darkness or negativity instead of light or positivity.


You're out to make this world

Desire to improve the world for oneself and one's group.

A better place

Striving to create a better environment for personal circles.

For you and yours

Believing in this endeavor, but alignment with higher ideals might not always match.

You're a believer but you and the lord

Conflict between personal beliefs and spiritual beliefs.

Don't always bet the same horse

Discrepancy between personal convictions and divine intentions.


You want the guilt to be punished

Similar to line 1: A desire for punishment for the guilty.

You want the hungry to be fed

A wish to address the hunger issue by providing sustenance.

The road is paved with good intentions

Reiteration of line 3: The path seems virtuous but leads to an adverse outcome.

And hell is straight ahead

Reiteration of line 4: A warning of impending negative consequences.


Night for day

A repetition emphasizing the theme of living in darkness or turmoil instead of light.
