Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Now, children come running to the truth

But you've got to peel the skin to get the fruit

And while one's living high another's grieving

But what's sweet by morning's bitter by the evening

Oh what's sweet by morning's bitter by the evening

[Verse 2]

So the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked man shall fall

Whoa the wicked, (The wicked)

Oh, oh, oh the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked man shall fall

[Verse 3]

Now when the moon chase away the sun

Whoa and 'cause, 'cause my day to run

I will not fear the darkest night

For I know upon the other side is light

Oh on the other side is light

[Verse 4]

Oh now the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked man shall fall

Oh no the wicked (The wicked)

Oh no the wicked (The wicked)

The wicked man shall fall

[Verse 5]

Every man is a common man

And every common man has his plan

But while the hungry man seek any food in sight

The greedy man seek only appetite

Oh the greedy man seek only appetite

[Verse 6]

Now the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked man shall fall

Oh the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked (The wicked)

Oh the wicked man shall fall

[Verse 7]

Oh the wicked man shall fall

Oh the wicked, the wicked

Oh the wicked man shall fall

Fall, fall, fall, fall

Wicked man, wicked man

Oh fall
