Of Evil
So evil came a knocking
Knocking on my door
Said it owned the universe
Said it wanted more
But when I looked evil
Looked it straight within the eye
It knew not what I spoke of
Left me to wonder why
and wonder is what i did
I sat right down to ponder
would evil go with good
if good had such an offer?
and evil started laughing
right there right in my face
said i lacked intelligence
and questioned my whole race
so then i said to evil
why would you hate me so
if i can leave you to evil
then you can surely let me go
but evil wasn't listening
and played an evil song
and so i waved goodbye
and did not sing along
but evil took it personal
and said that i lacked rhythm
I thought that evil had enough
and went on with simple living
but evil kept on knocking
and every where I went
I could see that look on faces
the one that evil sent
so I again said to evil
what is it that you want
and evil kept on laughing
I get anything I want
so back I went to living
my life that is so small
I said "go on" to evil
don't know that type of song
So evil's song got louder
and played on the radio
said that it would find me
anywhere i'd go
I thought this was quite silly
I'm not going anywhere
why would I go looking
for a thing that's everywhere
yes evil is quite spoiled
it wants more universe
and though it does sound greedy
In my life i did immerse
so evil went on playing
and came up with a new verse
said that it was quite scary
and very well rehersed
again i looked at evil
stopped and tried to listen
but evil made no sense to me
who names evil Kitson?
I think that evil can come and go
any time it wants
it said it owned the universe
and fills it up with taunts
so i ask why would your invitation
seem so nice to me?
we have nothing in common
that i could ever see
but evil said "i'm everywhere"
even in your kitchen
I said well if God wants you there
I guess I have to listen
and on it played it's evil tune
while my simple life went on
I still don't know why evil knocked
to play a silly song
or even gave me a try
to own the universe
to sing a song
or dance a jig
for evil to converse
see when i think of evil
and the way that evil sells
I know that any vested time
would cause no paralells
I would't fill the package
that evil keeps in stock
I couldn't talk of undoing
one of God's small flock
I couldn't put my heart in it
I could not make one buy
I know I couldn't make a sale
It isn't worth a try
to make evil so marketable
evil would have to let me go
As evil likes to look profitable
and see huge magins grow
though evil makes you fear regret
for a simple one like me
it has a gist i just don't get
and i see that naturally
I like to see the good in man
I like to see it spread
evil wouldn't want my thoughts
dancing around it's head
so why evil would care to stay
with simple folk like me
i simply could not fathom
and I file it mystery
see evil see's you coming
and it knows just what you think
it will use your thoughts against you
and leave you drowning in a sink
this to me is silly
but i do not question why
so why would evil question me
if i look it in the eye
I have no gripe with evil
I know it's everywhere
but if it saw me coming
it should know that i don't care
why should i care for evil
it does not care for me
and if the feeling is mutual
then at least we both agree.
