Sufjan Stevens
American folk musician Sufjan Stevens' song "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" appears on the 2004 album Seven Swans. The lyrics of the song, from The Misfit's point of view, are as follows:
Once in the backyard
She was once like me
She was once like me
Twice when I killed them
They were once at peace
They were once like me
Hold to your gun, man
And put off all your peace
Put off all the beast
Paid a full of these, I wait for it
But someone's once like me
She was once like me
I once was better
I put off all my grief
I put off all my grief
So I go to hell, I wait for it
But someone's left me creased
Someone's left me creased
