Here come the money, here come the beauty
Here come The Devil with his best suit on
He said, "Now I am not evil, but I was defiant
I gave knowledge to man and found the wrong side of God
(Do do do do do do-do do-do do-do)
I gave knowledge to man and found the wrong side of God
(Do do do do do do-do do-do do-do)
I gave knowledge to man, paradise lost!
I thought that knowledge was wisdom, I thought knowledge was wealth
But knowledge, I found, was my keyhole to hell
To know without wisdom, embarrassed the Lord
Made monsters of men by exposing their flaws
(Do do do do do do-do do-do do-do)
Made monsters of men by exposing their flaws
(Do do do do do do-do do-do do-do)
Made monsters of men, paradise lost!
Abandon your wise men, worship the fools
Hang all the judges, lock up the schools
Turn from temptation, return to the source
There's naught but disaster at the end of man's law
(Do do do do do do-do do-do do-do)
There's naught but disaster at the end of man's law
(Do do do do do do-do do-do do-do)
There's naught but disaster, paradise lost!
Naught but disaster, paradise lost!
Naught but disaster, paradise lost!"
