just plain evil

you sold your soul for a lump of coal

she's blacker than the night

didn't think you'd be needing it

but you thought

but you never know who you might meet

on the street where the church bells ring to a different beat

is it joy

is it pain? is it rustin' in the rain?

do you really think i need it?

is it just plain evil?

heard of a man who had a plan

to save the wretched world

nationwide genocide

like one-eyed jacks

and suicide queens

look out for if you know what i mean

is it good

is it bad? is it bitter

is it sad?

is it inside all these people?

is it just plain evil? you've got a lot to learn

you've got a lot to change

you've got nothing to lose

but a ball and chain

is it good

is it bad?is it bitter

is it sad?

do you really think i need it? is it just plain evil?
