Lyrics

[verse 1]
You started playing politics
You put religion top of mind
To cleanse the soul and make me whole
But you left the Spirit way behind

[pre chorus]
The tree looks good but the fruit is bad
Worst tasting stuff that I've ever had
So far short of the things that were implied
You're nothing but rotting bitterness inside

[chorus]
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit yeah
Can only see bad fruit
Oooh yeah
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit yeah
You're only producing bad fruit
Oooh yeah

[bridge]
Where’s your goodness, your kindness?
Your peace, joy and self control?
Your patience, your gentleness?
You’re only faithful in putting love on hold

[guitar solo]

[verse 2]
Healthy by appearances
The words you say sound so true
You tickle my ear, words I long to hear
But the substance is somehow askew

[pre chorus]
The tree looks good but the fruit is so bad
Worst tasting stuff that I've ever ever had
So far short of the things that were implied
Nothing but rotting bitterness inside

[chorus]
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit yeah
Can only see bad fruit
Oooh yeah
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit yeah
You're only producing bad fruit
Oooh yeah

[verse 3]
I just can’t see the evidence
Of fruit hanging from the tree
You’re neither hot or cold and I’m just not sold
You’ll be cast out with the enemy

[pre chorus]
The tree looks good but the fruit is so bad
Worst tasting stuff that I've ever ever had
So far short of the things that were implied
Nothing but rotting bitterness inside

[chorus]
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit yeah
Can only see bad fruit
Oooh yeah
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit yeah
You're only producing bad fruit
Oooh yeah

[bridge]
Where’s your goodness, your kindness?
Your peace, joy and self control?
Your patience, your gentleness?
You’re only faithful in putting love on hold

[guitar solo]

[chorus]
Bad fruit whoa
Nothing but bad fruit
Bad fruit
Oooh yeah
Bad fruit whoa
Bad fruit yeah
Bad fruit
Oooh why
