He had the best of intentions
At least that's the way it appeared
He was bold he was convincing
He said what we wanted to hear
It was for the greater good
It was all for the greater good
It was for the greater good
It was all for the greater good
On the surface it seemed benign
Corruption comes in many ways
It's hard to recognize danger
When you live in your own malaise
It was for the greater good
It was all for the greater good
It was for the greater good
It was all for the greater good
People never pay attention
If they do they won't even care
Thinking about making a change
Will only lead them to despair
It was for the greater good
It was all for the greater good
It was for the greater good
It was all for the greater good
