Clive Nolan - The End Justifies the Means lyrics

I like to think that I'm just and fair Approaching every problem with a sense of flare I'm never predisposed to the whims of pique Or toying with emotions In some twisted game of “hide and seek” I think that if you knew me you would say I'm kind In a wicked sort of way as I'm sure you'd find To the benefit of doubt I am generally inclined Unless I feel that something real Is lurking in your mind I may throw you to the ground I may spit right in your eye I may set the dogs upon you Let you bleed until you die I may stab you in the back Blow your hopes to smithereens But I validate my reasons For the end…justifies the means I know my sensitivities are highly tuned I am conscious of appearance Debonair, well groomed But never take for granted never dare a**ume That my sociable exterior Will save you from your doom I may torture you to d**h In such ways beyond obscene By opening your stomach And then showing you your spleen I may throw you to the wolves I may shatter all your dreams But I act in the conviction that The end…justifies the means People do not know – leadership is cruel Holding it together is a constant duel Good and bad where the lines are blurred Trust in your heart and commit that murder Every step I take brings me closer to my goal The power of life and d**h – the ultimate control And it will be mine Yes it will be mine I may lock you in your cell And destroy your self-esteem But I sleep just like a baby And despite how it may seem My conscience it is clear My guilt does not roam free There's comfort in the notion that The end…justifies the means I may set the dogs upon you Let you bleed until you die I may stab you in the back Blow your hopes to smithereens But I validate my reasons For the end…justifies the means
