Evil, why have you engulfed so many hearts, evil?
Evil, why have you destroyed so many minds?
Leaving room for darkness where lost dreams can hide

Evil, why do you infest our purest thoughts with hatred?
Evil, why have you stolen so much love?
Leaving everyone's emotions lost and wandering free

Evil, why have you taken over God's children's eyes, evil?
Evil, before they could really grow to see
That your way is not the way to make life what it should be
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Evil, why have you destroyed? You've destroyed so much of this doggone world, evil
Evil, oh, why have you broken so many homes?
Leaving sweet love all alone, an outcast of the world
