Yardbirds, The - Ever Since The World Began Lyrics






Ever since the world began,
Satan's followed every man.
Trapping evil if he can,
I tell you now his greatest plan.
Invented when I cannot tell,
Defied the thoughts of man so well.
Man wants money for his need,
But soon it sows its evil seed.
Unhappiness it only brings,
As man wants more and better things.
If not enough the evil lies,
But soon you'll find somebody dies.
Throughout the years there have been wars,
Power and richness have been the cause.
Trapped in money's evil net,
Man wants more than he can get.

You don't need money.
No, no, no, no,
You don't need money.
No, no, no, no,
You don't need money.
...[etc.]

It'll never bring you love,
No more than the sun above.
You'll never see the end,
The money you will surely spend.
But ask for help if you sin,
Reclaim yourself, what a state you're in.
The devil has you in his grasp,
There ain't no mercy you can ask.
More and more you will need,
You're strangled in the clutch of greed.
You can't get out, no place to go,
You sold your soul - the answer's no!

Yardbirds, The Ever Since The World Began Comments
  1. D.... R....

    Psychedelic!

  2. M.... S....

    This is the best rock album ever. What ever became of them? Relf died of an electric shock. Beck became Mister Jeff Beck. Samwell-Smtih is a producer, Chris Dreja a photographer...what happened to Jim McCarty I don't know.

    M.... S....

    Loooong story. McCarty has a Youtube channel where he features music from his whole career going back to the Yardbirds. Still tours with a current version with Chris sometimes. As you likely know the last incarnation of the Yardbirds left Jimmy Page as the last remaining member. They left the name with him. The new group he formed was really Led Zeppelin. They toured as the Yardbirds, then changed their name to the New Yardbirds, then to LZ. McCarty, Relf and his sister Jane formed an experimental classical jazz rock group called Renaissance. Paul Samwell-Smith produced and engineered. They recorded a masterpiece first album, a decent second album then disbanded. McCarty formed a new version of Renaissance featuring Annie Haslam and the rest of that group is history. Later the original Renaissance lineup reformed but since they had given the name away they adopted the name of their second album for their new group, Illusion. Once again two albums. Afterward Keith formed Armageddon and was killed during a rehearsal. The others spread from there. Here is the first cut from the first Renaissance album.

    You don't need money.

    No, no, no, no,

    You don't need money.

    No, no, no, no,

    You don't need money.
    It'll never bring you love,
    No more than the sun above.
