Cast The First Stone

(album: The Individualist - 1995)

I had a vicious thought, a vicious thought
Like you never had a vicious thought before
Like you never in your life had a vicious thought before
Not once in your life

Cast the first stone, cast the first stone
Let the righteous among you cast the first stone

I told a pointless lie, a pointless lie
Like you never told a pointless lie before
To make yourself look good, you never told a pointless lie before
Not once in your life

I did a half-assed job, a half-assed job
Like you never in your life did a half-assed job

I was a fool for a kiss, a fool for a kiss
Like you never in your life was a fool for a kiss

Please do not complain to me of moral relativity
Spitefulness induces me to go on with the litany
Please do not complain to me of moral relativity
The crimes of others you deplore
But of yourself, you don't keep score

I did a sickening thing, a sickening thing
Like you never did a sickening thing before
Like your body never made you do a sickening thing before

I cursed an evil god, an evil god
Like you never cursed an evil god before
Like you never in your life cursed an evil god before

I screwed over a friend, I screwed over a friend
Like you never in your life screwed over a friend

I had a pompous attitude, a pompous attitude
Like you never in your life had a pompous attitude
