The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Malela Lyrics

Silver rings and magic things
Your children should not know
Evil deeds are rotten seeds
The kind that never grow
You put them in the ground you know
What you will become? I'll tell you son
She traded life for happiness with
No regrets at all
It left a rotten emptiness
It left her feeling small
It left her nothing left at all
Except something she despised
You see it in her eyes
She gave away her life, she's not a sinner

She traded love for liberty
A bold pursuit of fun
She gave away her sanity and
Found that she had none
Watch quickly now as she becomes
Something that she despised, feels it in her
She's living in a lie, and she's the center
She gave away her life, she's not a sinner
