Lyrics for A Good Man Is Hard to Find

Once in the backyard, she was once like me She was once like me Twice when I killed them, they were once at peace They were once like me Hold to your gun, man and put off all your peace Put off all the beast Paid a full of these I wait for it, but someone's once like me She was once like me I once was better, I put off all my grief I put off all my grief And so I go to hell, I wait for it but someone's left me creased And someone's left me creased
