Lyrics
Heard about a man in South Louisiana
Posing as preacher
They say he hates women and children and dogs
Try to feed your newborn baby to his hogs
If that ain\'t enough they say he killed his own son
Evil in the flesh, it ain\'t much fun
There\'s a little bit of killin\' that must be done
If somebody\'s gotta do it, I\'ll be the one
Somebody\'s gotta do it, I\'ll be the one
I must be evil for I know not what is right
I must be evil for I only shine on a dark black night
Well I ain\'t been to church in a too long time
What haven\'t there wouldn\'t change my mind
It only left me colder
It only left me stone and cold
I walked into the service with a Bible in my hand
Got a knife on a chain around my neck
Another one on my hip
I turned to the congregation
I turned to make my peace
I said \"the words of the wicked lie in wait for blood\"
(I\'m ready to mess, I don\'t mind the mud)
(I\'m ready to mess, I don\'t mind the mud)
I must be evil for I know not what is right
I must be evil for I only shine on a dark black night
Well he lay dead at my feet
Oh, I had to make a move no time to think
If you don\'t know than you can\'t be told
Why I want to die before I get old
This ain\'t about the end
And it ain\'t about here and now
I been wantin\' to die so long
My only regret is the day I was born
I\'ve come to see this through
To the death may I be true
You got one last thing to learn
From the dust you came and the dust you shall return
I must be evil for I know not what is right
I must be evil for I only shine on a dark black night
I must be evil
I must be evil
(Evil)
I must be evil
I must be evil
Evil
