Lyrics
I stand here before you the way life has made me
I present myself as shaped by life's experiences
Ill mannered, foul mouthed, bad tempered and lazy
Rude, vulgar, ill-tempered, and indolent
I stare at your world down the neck of a bottle
Observing your world through the lens of a bottle
Every day is a death ride when I hold the throttle
Every day feels like a dangerous journey when I'm in control
To the drowning I am water
To those in despair, I am a source of relief
For your calm I am the storm
I bring chaos to your tranquility
I'm the fiend who's with your daughter
Portrayed as a wicked person involved with your daughter
In bed well before the dawn
In bed long before sunrise
Was I the cat that got the bird?
Questioning if I'm the one who succeeded
They'll put the blame on me
Expecting blame for unforeseen events
Everything was grand in wonderland
Referencing the downfall after Charles Manson's arrival
Till Charles Manson came to tea
Each moment's a game and I must play it to win
Suggesting a stoic response if you can't bear it
And if you cannot bear it then you'll just have to grin
Life is a stage, and I aim to outperform
All the world is a stage so I aim to upstage you
Referencing Macbeth's return to haunt those who wronged him
(By the pricking of my thumbs)
Quoting a line from Macbeth
Kill me off but like ban quo I'll come back to plague you
-(Something wicked this way comes)
-All martyrs seek their cross and nails
Martyrs seek suffering for their cause
The rebels grail his cause
The rebel embraces his cause without reservation
So I'll just sign away my soul
Selling one's soul without regret
And forget the buy out clause
Disregarding the option to revoke the deal
The few who see me through my disguise
Those who see through my facade intensely dislike me
Abhor, deplore, hate and despise me
Indifferent to others' perceptions, urging submission
I care not what you perceive
Unconcerned about judgments, encouraging submission
Fall unto your knees
Commanding others to kneel
Jack the ripper went to Sunday school
Referencing infamous figures attending Sunday school
With his best friends mack the knife
Connecting Jack the Ripper and Mack the Knife
And the blue eyed boy who lives next door
Characterizing a neighbor as a drug-addicted Jesus
He's a junkie Jesus Christ
Do you think I'll be sad 'cus you don't like me
Not bothered by disapproval
Well, I consider it highly unlikely
Confident in emotional resilience
Spill the milk but I won't cry
Resilient to emotional challenges
My eyes are watertight like my alibi
Asserting the strength of one's defense
Yes, I'll love you then leave you for no apparent reason
Expressing a transient love with no clear reason for leaving
My names are many my friends call me 'Legion'
Identifying with multiple personas
The light that casts the shadows darker shades of black
Dark influences concealing nefarious intentions
That hide the drugged up mugger who will stab you in the back
Highlighting the hidden dangers of a drugged criminal
I'm not the type of angel who fell from divine grace
Not a fallen angel, but one who never ascended
I'm the one who was so bad he never got there in the first place
A vulture observing the unfolding chaos
The vulture in the wings as the battle flags unfurl
Introduction as the wickedest man in the world
Pleased to meet you, I'm the wickedest man in the world
