Evil Genius
Unraveling the Mind of an Evil Prodigy
Lyrics
They were so ecstatic when the letter arrived
Excitement upon receiving a significant letter
A certified genius at the age of five
Recognition as a certified genius at a young age
They planned his future so carefully
Careful planning of the genius's future
He was everything they hoped he'd be
The genius fulfilling expectations and aspirations
He was a model child, a devoted son
A well-behaved child and a loving son
Loved and admired by everyone
Universal love and admiration for the genius
He played out every role, a "T.V. hero"
The genius playing various roles, perhaps influenced by television
He lived his life in a video fantasy
Living life in a fantasy world, possibly through video games
He was good at school, never failed a grade
Academic success without failing grades
They gave him hopes and dreams, and taught him not to hate
Being taught positive values and discouraging hatred
He had rules he learned to break for fun
Learning to break rules for amusement
Now he's hidin', 'cause his fingerprints on the gun
Hiding due to involvement with a gun and potential crime
Why'd ya' have to do it Evil Genius?
Questioning the motive behind the genius's actions
Was it justified in your mind?
Exploring whether the genius believed their actions were justified
Why'd ya' put us through it Evil Genius?
Expressing the emotional impact of the genius's actions
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge?
Examining the justification for holding grudges
Was it something said that pushed you over the line?
Exploring potential triggers that pushed the genius over the edge
Your best interests were in our minds
Assuming the genius had good intentions in mind
You kept it so well hidden, we never knew
Keeping hidden troubles that were unknown to others
No one ever expected anything like this from you
Surprise and disbelief at unexpected actions from the genius
Why'd ya' have to do it Evil Genius?
Reiterating the question about the reasoning behind the actions
Was it justified in your mind?
Continuing to explore the justification in the genius's mind
Why'd ya' put us through it Evil Genius?
Expressing the emotional toll of the genius's actions
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge?
Examining the justification for holding grudges, repeated inquiry
Why'd ya' have to do it Evil Genius?
Repeating the question about the motive behind the actions
Was it justified in your mind?
Continuing to explore the justification in the genius's mind
Why'd ya' put us through it Evil Genius?
Reiterating the emotional impact of the genius's actions
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge?
Examining the justification for holding grudges, repeated inquiry
