Just Plain Evil

(album: Clam Dip & Other Delights - 1989)

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 rusting 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?
