Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm surrounded, each doorway covered
By at least twenty men
And they're gonna take me, throw me in prison
I ain't comin' back again
I ain't comin' back again
[Verse 2]
When I was younger, handsomer, and stronger
I felt like I could do anythin'
But all of these people makin' all these faces
Didn't seem like my kith and kin
Didn't seem like my kith and kin
[Verse 3]
And Colin Kincaid from the twelfth grade
Guess you could say he was my best friend
Lived in a big, tall house out on Westfall
Where we would hide when the rain rolled in
Where we would hide when the rain rolled in
[Verse 4]
We went out one night and took a flashlight
Out with these two girls Colin knew from Kenwood Christian
One was named Laurie, that's what the story
Said next week in the Guardian
Said next week in the Guardian
[Verse 5]
And when I killed her, it was so easy
That I wanted to kill her again
I got down on both of my knees, and
She ain't comin' back again
She ain't comin' back again
[Verse 6]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
[Verse 7]
Now with all these cameras focused on my face
You would think they could see it through my skin
They're lookin' for evil, thinkin' they can trace it, but
Evil don't look like anything
Evil don't look like anything
[Verse 8]
Oh, evil (Evil don't look like anything)
Oh, it don't (Evil don't look like anything)
Don't look like anything (Evil don't look like anything)
Don't look like anything (Evil don't look like anything)
[Verse 9]
Evil don't look like anything
Evil don't look like anything
