Wishing Wells Lyrics
Wishing wells
Are fine in fairy tales
But they've got no business here
Where evil's very real
And children are known
To just disappear
Magic spells
Still hold no currency
Where people are lining up
To sell their dignity
When reality's a show
They'll crawl through mud
I fear sometimes
We ain't got a hope in hell
I've half a mind to hang the next fool
To wish me well
To wish me well
It comes as no surprise
All that rises to the top
Before our very eyes
With each generation epectation drops
I feel sometimes
We ain't got a hope in hell
I've a half a mind to hang the next fool
To wish me well
To wish me well
Tell me when
When will the truth prevail
To clear away all
The smug and smirking juveniles
And save us from all
The blood thirsty thugs
I fear sometimes
We ain't got a hope in hell
I've half a mind to hang the next fool
To wish me well
Are fine in fairy tales
But they've got no business here
Where evil's very real
And children are known
To just disappear
Still hold no currency
Where people are lining up
To sell their dignity
When reality's a show
They'll crawl through mud
We ain't got a hope in hell
I've half a mind to hang the next fool
To wish me well
To wish me well
All that rises to the top
Before our very eyes
With each generation epectation drops
We ain't got a hope in hell
I've a half a mind to hang the next fool
To wish me well
To wish me well
When will the truth prevail
To clear away all
The smug and smirking juveniles
And save us from all
The blood thirsty thugs
We ain't got a hope in hell
I've half a mind to hang the next fool
To wish me well

Beautifully simple play on words--"wishing wells" as the people wishing you well. I think it has to do with the futility he feels--"all your happy hopes for me aren't going to fix us, we're all too screwed up".
