Career of Evil Lyrics
[Verse 1: Albert Bouchard]
I plot your rubric scarab
I steal your satellite
I want your wife to be my
Baby tonight, baby tonight
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom & Albert Bouchard]
I choose to steal what you choose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You’re mine for the taking
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
[Verse 2: Albert Bouchard]
Pay me, I’ll be your surgeon
I’d like to pick your brain
Capture you, inject you
Leave you kneeling in the rain, kneeling in the rain
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom & Albert Bouchard]
I choose to steal what you choose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You’re mine for the taking
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
[Bridge: Albert Bouchard]
I’d like your blue-eyed horseshoe
I’d like your emerald horny toad
I’d like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road
[Verse 3: Albert Bouchard]
And then I’d spend your ransom money
But still, I keep your sheep
I’d peel the mask you’re wearing
And then rob you of your sleep, rob you of your sleep
[Pre-Chorus: Eric Bloom & Albert Bouchard]
I choose to steal what you choose to show
And you know I will not apologize
You’re mine for the taking
[Chorus: Eric Bloom]
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
I’m making a career of evil!
