Fatima Mansions - Evil Man lyrics

Born to refuseand raised to exclude

Fed myths to disprove by post-colonial prudes:

The city was evilsome country was evilthe hippies were evilthe writers were evilthe homeless were evilthe workers were evilthe summer was evilindependence was evil

Grown and released with the heart of a thief

Wanting only to seek the very gentlest of streets where

Nobody's evilnobody's evil....

So easy to hate

Just look at the face

The nose in the clouds

The bulge in the brow

And the head on backwards

The need to escape all visible space

Continuous drift to depend and dismiss

And the head on backwards

(evilevilweak and now feebleevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilwe who would kneelevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilman we'll get evenevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilwe all know the reasonevilevil) evil man!

Here comes the fun

Blink and it's gone

See what you've won

The end's just begun

I am the demonI am the demon...

The morning is hell

The night full of blood

Each sickening smell announces a flood

In a human holiday

No wall at the back

No light on the map

No fictionno fact

No fibre now...chaff

In the human holiday

(evilevilweak and now feebleevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilwe who would kneelevilevil) evil man!

(evil demonquit while you're evenevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilwe all know the reasonevilevil) evil man!

I'm clearing my desk

It's time for a rest

Tomorrow is deadso the worms have been fed

With the head on thatwards

The washing of hands

The kissing of feet

The failure which brands

Nightmare without sleep

To any fool with a grievanceit's open season!

(evilevilweak and now feebleevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilwe who would kneelevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilquit while you're evenevilevil) evil man!

(evilevilwe all know the reasonevilevil) evil man!
