Words and music by Ben Harper
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 is bitter by the evening
Oh ? What’s sweet by morning is bitter by the evening
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
When the moon chase away the sun
And cause my day to run
I will not fear the darkest night
For I know upon the other side is light
Oh ? The other side is light
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
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
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
The wicked
The wicked
The wicked man shall fall
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
