When You’re Evil

[Verse 1]
When the devil is too busy
And death's a bit too much
They call on me by name, you see
For my special touch
To the gentlemen, I'm Miss Fortune
To the ladies I'm Sir Prize
But call me by any name
Anyway, it's all the same

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea beneath your bed
I'm the bump on every head
I'm the peel on which you slip
I'm the pin in every hip
I'm the thorn in your side
Makes you wiggle and writhe

[Chorus]
It's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

[Verse 2]
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
While there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip
Down the stairs, I'll be there
I'll be waiting 'round the corner
It's a game, I'm glad I'm in it
'Cause there's one born every minute

[Chorus]
And It's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

[Bridge]
I pledge my allegiance to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul to do as I am told
For Beelzebub has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job but does it happily

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmares in your skull
I'm the dagger in your back
An extra turn upon the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start

[Chorus]
It's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

[Post-Chorus]
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need

[Outro]
It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil...
I'm lying through my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need
