You've Done It Well

(geschrieben 19.2.-12.3.2010, zu hören auf "Facing Her Silhouette")

You always shook the right hands and smiled at the right times
Now you're member of a group spending dollars and not dimes
Can rising people understand the pain of those that fell?
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

You enjoy your coffee from a pricey gold rimmed cup
There's no need to mention that you are on your way up
The wealth you came to have by fraud it grows the more you sell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

A lesson you have learned: corruption is the fastest lift
If someone's not on your side you'll convince him with a gift
One could write a book about the tricks that you can tell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

It's a cruel society of rich folks, I've been told
Where selfishness is silver and the ruthlessness is gold
A,r,r,o,g,a,n,c,e - what does that spell?
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

Once your house said "come right in" and your face said "hello"
Now they both look locked, rejecting people they don't know
You traded your doormat for a rifle and a shell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

Staring at the ceiling, in the night awake you keep
Afraid of all the have-nots who might robb you in your sleep
The sweet scent of sharing things to you is a bad smell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

All the human problems, they were never in your head
Why should you then care about environment instead?
Acid raining from the sky, the oceans start to swell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

Rebellious, planless, careless, easy, not taking advice
In your eyes and those of god I'm a sinner in disguise
You will go to heaven as sure as I will go to hell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

You're the kind of person who would sneak into a hearse
And take the old lady's precious jewelry and her purse
Stealing candy from a child even if it starts to yell
Whatever you have done, you've done it well

If there is the rapture you will sure be left behind
There's no place in paradise for people of your kind
You will go to hell as sure as I will go to heaven
So if you're six six six I'm six six seven
