Evil Man

Born to refuse, and raised to exclude

Fed myths to disprove by post-colonial prudes:

The city was evil, some country was evil, the hippies were evil, the writers were evil, the homeless were evil, the workers were evil, the summer was evil, independence was evil



Grown and released with the heart of a thief

Wanting only to seek the very gentlest of streets where

Nobody's evil, nobody's evil....



So easy to hate

Just look at the face

The nose in the clouds

The bulge in the brow

And the head on backwards

The need to escape all visible space

Continuous drift to depend and dismiss

And the head on backwards



(evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, man we'll get even, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) evil man!



Here comes the fun

Blink and it's gone

See what you've won

The end's just begun

I am the demon, i am the demon...



The morning is hell

The night full of blood

Each sickening smell announces a flood

In a human holiday

No wall at the back

No light on the map

No fiction, no fact

No fibre now...chaff

In the human holiday



(evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil demon, quit while you're even, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) evil man!



I'm clearing my desk

It's time for a rest

Tomorrow is dead, so the worms have been fed

With the head on thatwards

The washing of hands

The kissing of feet

The failure which brands

Nightmare without sleep

To any fool with a grievance, it's open season!



(evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, quit while you're even, evil, evil) evil man!

(evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) evil man!
