[verse 1: Isaiah 5:2] He cleared it of stones, planted it with choice vines; built a tower in the middle, dug a vat for wine. He looked for grapes but wild ones came. [verse 2: Isaiah 5:3-4] O people of Judah, what more could I do? I looked for fruit, but it spoiled too soon. Tell me why did it yield wild grapes? [chorus: Isaiah 5:20] Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, (Woe!) who put darkness for light and light for darkness, (Woe!) who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! [verse 3: Isaiah 5:11-12] Woe to those who rise with the drink, chasing fire 'til their conscience sinks. Music blaring, wine flowing, but no one sees the hand of the Lord. [chorus 2: Isaiah 5:20] Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, (Woe!) who put darkness for light and light for darkness, (Woe!) who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! For bitter! [bridge: Isaiah 5:21-23] Woe to the wise in their own eyes, and heroes of drinking games. They acquit the guilty for a bribe, strip the innocent of their name. [final chorus: Isaiah 5:20. 24] Woe to those who call evil good and good evil (Woe!) whose roots rot out beneath, (Woe!) whose blossoms turn to dust, (Woe!) who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! For bitter. For bitter.
