B
What's the use of paradise or everyday of livin'?
They spend and learn in Heaven, sin in Hell
What's the point of children
When evil got before them?
They learn in every tale we tell

Chorus:
G#m                        E
There's no point in being kind
G#m
What's the use when love becomes
   E            F#
an evil of the mind?

    B
Oh Yeah!

What's the use of power
When the battle isn't equal
And we're all too scared to use it anyway?
What's the point of reason
When no one wants to listen?
Deliverance is all too far away

Chorus:
There's no point in being kind
What's the use when love becomes
an evil of the mind?

Oh what's the use?

Chorus:
There's no point in being kind
What's the use when love becomes
an evil of the mind?

B
Oh what's the use?
Tell me
Oh, what's the use?
What's the use?

Love becomes an evil of the mind
What's the use?
Love becomes an evil of the mind
What's the use?
What's the use?
What's the use?
