Evil
Unveiling the Malevolent Essence
Lyrics
He is the people's post and all the people know it
He represents the common man's voice, and everyone is aware of it.
They've read his published stories in public lavatories
His stories are widely known, especially in public restrooms.
In town and country locals he's Mr. Antisocial
In various social settings, he is perceived as Mr. Antisocial.
His violence does the talking those boots weren't made for walking
He communicates through violence, and his boots symbolize aggression.
He's a coldblooded vulture he won't respect your culture
He is a heartless predator, indifferent to cultural values.
He's nothing like your good self he's come to burn your bookshelf
He differs significantly from the listener, aiming to destroy intellectual pursuits.
He'll gobble up your children destroy what you've been building
He poses a threat to the future generation, undermining progress.
And when you're left to suffer he'll vivisect your mother
He inflicts suffering, even targeting the sanctity of motherhood.
He is the Lord and master of every war and disaster
He is depicted as a powerful force behind wars, disasters, diseases, and famines.
Every disease and famine, a place of cunning planning
He is a mastermind orchestrating cunning plans to create chaos.
He was in Vietnam he is the Ku Kluts Klan
References his involvement in Vietnam and association with the Ku Klux Klan.
He was the child catcher he gave us Margaret Thatcher
Attributes the child catcher and Margaret Thatcher to him.
One day the Devil was in high good humor for he had created a mirror
Introduces a story about the Devil creating a mirror with distorting effects.
Which made everything good and beautiful reflected in it shrink to almost
Describes the mirror making good things shrink and bad things stand out.
Nothing, and everything bad and ugly stand out more clearly than ever.
Highlights the contrast created by the mirror's reflections.
All the little imps who went to the Devil's school ran around with the
Depicts imps running around with the mirror, distorting everything and everyone.
Mirror until there was nowhere and no one that had not been distorted in it.
Emphasizes the widespread distortion caused by the mirror.
The Devil was much amused, and the mirror itself grinned wickedly.
The Devil finds amusement in the chaos caused by the mirror.
Then the little imps decided to fly up to heaven and make fun of God and
Imps decide to mock God and his angels with the mirror in heaven.
His angles. The higher they carried the mirror, the more it grinned, until
The higher the mirror goes, the more distortion it causes.
It was shaking so hard with laughter that it slipped out of their hands
The mirror shakes with laughter, slips, and falls to earth.
And fell to earth, where it broke into millions of pieces.
The mirror breaks into millions of pieces upon falling.
And then it caused even more trouble than before, because all the tiny
The broken mirror causes even more trouble, with tiny splinters spreading.
Splinters, scarcely the size of a grain of sand, went flying around the
Small splinters fly worldwide, causing distortion when they enter eyes.
World, and whenever a splinter flew into anyone's eye, it had the same
Each splinter has the power to distort vision like the entire mirror.
Power as the whole mirror, and made people see everything distorted.
Splinters entering eyes lead to distorted perceptions.
Sometimes a splinter of glass even entered someone's heart, which was
Some splinters even enter hearts, turning them to ice, the worst outcome.
Worst of all, for then that person's heart was turned to ice.
Heart turning to ice signifies extreme coldness and cruelty.
And by his royal appointment there'll be no more enjoyment
By his authority, all enjoyment will cease.
There will be no more bandera no more service will be rendered
No flags, no services until he witnesses complete submission.
The shops will not be open until he sees you broken
Shops remain closed until he sees everyone broken.
You've got to give him credit the poor man's Norman Tebbitt
Credits him with determination, likening him to Norman Tebbit.
Cruelty without beauty, beyond the call of duty
Describes him as cruel without any redeeming beauty.
And beyond my understanding I find it so demanding
Expresses difficulty in understanding and finding it demanding.
I wish I could forget it and be more apathetic
Expresses a desire to forget and be apathetic.
It's just it bothers me so how anyone could be so
The disturbing nature of evil bothers the speaker.
Evil
Concludes by labeling the subject as purely evil.
