Just Plain Evil

Dave Pirner

You sold your soul for a lump of coal
She's blacker than the night
Didn't think you'd be needing it
But you thought ?

But you never know who you might meet
On the street where the church bells ring to a different beat

Is it joy, is it pain?
Is it rustin' in the rain?
Do you really think I need it?
Is it just plain evil?

Heard of a man who had a plan
To save the wretched world
Nationwide genocide
?

Like one-eyed jacks
And suicide queens
Look out for ? if you know what I mean

Is it good, is it bad?
Is it bitter, is it sad?
Is it inside all these people?
Is it just plain evil?

You've got a lot to learn
You've got a lot to change
You've got nothing to lose
But a ball and chain

Is it good, is it bad?
Is it bitter, is it sad?
Do you really think I need it?
Is it just plain evil?
