Fatima Mansions - Evil Man Lyrics
Born to refuse, and raised to excludeFed myths to disprove by post-colonial prudes:The city was evil, some country was evil, the hippies were evil, the writers were evil, the homeless were evil, the workers were evil, the summer was evil, independence was evilGrown and released with the heart of a thiefWanting only to seek the very gentlest of streets whereNobodys evil, nobodys evil....So easy to hateJust look at the faceThe nose in the cloudsThe bulge in the browAnd the head on backwardsThe need to escape all visible spaceContinuous drift to depend and dismissAnd the head on backwards(evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, man well get even, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) evil man!Here comes the funBlink and its goneSee what youve wonThe ends just begunI am the demon, I am the demon...The morning is hellThe night full of bloodEach sickening smell announces a floodIn a human holidayNo wall at the backNo light on the mapNo fiction, no factNo fibre now...chaffIn the human holiday(evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) evil man!(evil demon, quit while youre even, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) evil man!Im clearing my deskIts time for a restTomorrow is dead, so the worms have been fedWith the head on thatwardsThe washing of handsThe kissing of feetThe failure which brandsNightmare without sleepTo any fool with a grievance, its open season!(evil, evil, weak and now feeble, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, we who would kneel, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, quit while youre even, evil, evil) evil man!(evil, evil, we all know the reason, evil, evil) evil man!
