Lyrics

I plot

Your rubric scarab

I steal

Your satellite

I want

Your wife to be my

Baby tonight, baby tonight

I choose to steal what you chose to show

And you know

I will not apologize

You're mine for the taking

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

Pay me

I'll be your surgeon

I'd like

To pick your brain

Capture

You, inject you

Leave you kneeling in the rain

Kneeling in the rain

I choose to steal what you chose to show

And you know

I will not apologize

You're mine for the taking

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

Eh, eh, eh, eh

I'd like your blue eyed horseshoe

I'd like your emerald horny toad

I'd like to do it to your daughter on a dirt road

And then I'd spend

Your ransom money

But still

I'd keep your sheep

I'd peel

The mask you're wearing

And then rob you of your sleep

Rob you of your sleep

I choose to steal what you chose to show

And you know

I will not apologize

You're mine for the taking

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil, hey

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil

I'm making a career of evil
