lyrics

It ain't the missiles we build
Foreigners killed
Capitol hill or the morning-after pill
It ain't the nuclear bombs
Absent gods
Oil in the ground or the penny and the pound

No, people are the evil of the world
People are the evil of the world

It ain't the smog we breathe
The blood in our meat
Atrocities of poverty or starving in the streets
It ain't the price of gas
The elephant or the ass
The privileged rich or the ruling class

No, people are the evil of the world
People are the evil of the world

You may pray for redemption
But your god is just an invention
There's no heaven, near as I can tell
Just an earth, we've slowly turned to hell

It left Berlin in two
Iraq in ruin
Haiti and Sudan in the warlords' hands
It fills mass graves
Trades in slaves
Left Paris in flames, bombs trains in Spain

No people are the evil of the world
People are the evil of the world

about

The Scarring Party Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Milwaukee "end timey" quartet blends music hall and early American roots music to draw macabre character sketches with accordion, banjo, tuba and unorthodox percussion.
