Charmless Callous Ways — Everything but the girl

Charmless callous ways

I have been in league with cruelty And charmless callous ways I have been betrayed into believing That those who never win should never play

Nothing succeeds quite like success And to be doomed to second best I mistook for failure Nothing more and nothing less But if hate is peace and love is war There's nothing there I feel's worth fighting for

And anything that's not my way Anyway that's not my way

Disdain to be a grown-up fool Who plays by adolescent rules Where to be king is to be cruel And constancy's an unprized jewel Now I've abandoned all those crimes And we'll endure without church bell chimes
