Uhh
Hello boys and girls
Hi
You ever been down?
Yeah
Wanted some help?
Uh huh
I have
This is my story

Looking one day in the mirror
Thoughts hazy, wish they were clearer
My reflection just ain't me
Hear the devil's voice faintly
You are an evil evil man
Shake the red-suited man's hand
"I have got a plan for you:
Just eat this here eyeballs and goo."
Ate the eyeballs, chowed 'em down
Looked in the mirror, no more frown
Put on cologne and hit the town
Loved by everyone around
Heard that voice come creeping in
"Son, just don't forget to do sin!"
Raped a girl, killed a boy
Sinful, baby, oh what a joy
Evil thoughts in my mind
Oh I've got those evil thoughts in my mind
The devil's at me all the time
Won't you help me baby?
I've tried

Now I got a girl that I'm faithful to
The voice said "Remember: be a hateful youth.
Ain't no girl that's a real good sleuth--
Just don't tell her the complete truth!"
So I slept with Tawny, Lisa and Sadie
Tammy, Wendy, a really nice lady
Dissed 'em all, did not call
It felt so great, no guilt at all
Then I stole my best friend's car
Really good mileage, drove it real far
Called my Mom, she picked me up
Blamed it on her and she blames bad luck
Had my hearing, out on bail
All the people said "King To The Hail"
Spread my wings as I set sail
Lying on that big fat rail

Evil thoughts in my mind, in my mind
Oh I've got those evil thoughts in my mind
In my mind
The devil is at me all the time
Won't you help me, baby? I've tried

Then the devil said it's time to be a racist
Said 'Don't want to do that, man. It's tasteless."
'Til he made me get a gun
He said "Hit the streets, boy, have some fun."
Hit the streets and I shot a Jew
Got a black, a Mexican too
Nailed an Asian and his crew
Killed a red, a white, and blue
Looked around, a tear I shed
Put the gun up to my head
Pulled the trigger, the concrete red
Hit the ground and thank God I'm dead
The preceding is so true
Don't let the devil get a hold of you
Don't let the devil get a hold of you
Don't let the devil get a hold of you

Evil thoughts in my mind
Oh I've got those evil thoughts in my mind
The devil is at me all the time
Won't you help me baby?
I'm dying
Evil thoughts
I've got those evil thoughts
Got those evil thoughts
I've got those evil thoughts
Won't you get 'em out of my mind?
Evil thoughts
Got those evil thoughts

:o

gosh i love this song!

the only thing i noticed was i thought it was "blamed it on her and she blames bad luck"? i don't know.

Where can this song be found?

[Edited on 6-2-2006 by corkey16]

"Very Not OK, Underdogs, Drowse" 1999
It can be found on YouTube to listen to, but to get your hands on a copy, Corkey, you'd have to figure out what to do next on the YouTube thing or beg the hell out of somebody who has it. Good luck getting the second option to work smoothly ...

(If you read a thread about the album, you'll see why...)

There is Very Not OK, and a Separate demo CD that came out in 1999. The demo cd had all the tracks from Very Not OK minus Climaxing and plus some others. It was on Ebay about a year ago Id say. I wasn't the one who got it though. It was Imarob.
