Bad motives

Is It going to last forever
Our vicious need for vanity
We applaud and cheer as others bleed
Because they were our enemies
Smiling as they die

If I hold a gun or own a mob
Have I become on instant God
Can the biggest weapon give the right
To redefine what's wrong or right
Don't make me laugh again

One more time... bad motives
In your mind but will it ever change
One more time... bad motives
In your mind you're leaving God behind

We all say we're seeking tenderness
With one-track minds of selfishness
And when we tell that one that we love them
We only want it back from them
And so here It comes again

(Chorus)
