about

Written at the urging of Myrddin Starfari, to whom I am eternally grateful.

lyrics

Hello Daily Journal, connect me to Tom Evander
He wrote the piece today on Dr. Romulus.
I was anxious and offended, and because I am said Doctor,
Find the claim that I am evil more than slightly libelous.

I don't really want to rule world, but it's done such a horrid job
Of ruling itself, maybe it's my time.
On the other hand I ache for the eternal void of chaos
Its a bifurcated world view, but it's mine.

In the meantime, it's best if you desist.
I can't let you call me evil, I simply must insist...

I'm not evil, I'm insane and slightly angry,
A more accurate descriptor would be mad.
So kindly check your rhetoric, your demagogic verbiage.
To draw my full attentions would be bad.
Because I'm mad!

Wake up, Tom, I know it's late and it is likely quite unsettling
For me to turn up armed and at your home.
Please ignore the robots, they're just for my protection,
They react to sudden movements, so it's best if you stay prone.

I think we both want what is best, ending hunger and unrest,
But we share differing ideologies.
Though our methods demarcate us, all that really separates us is
A hundred IQ points and maybe sociopathy.

I'm not evil, I'm insane and pretty angry,
A more accurate descriptor would be mad.
So kindly check your rhetoric, your demagogic verbiage.
To draw my full attentions would be bad.
Because I'm mad!

Perhaps you think I'm evil for the things that I have done, but I just don't have the time or will to justify each one.
I'm a man of many masters, and I live a paradox: Bending the world to my new order, just as I incite chaos.

Now, Tom, I'm very angered, in your article today,
You called me evil in at least a dozen different ways.
In the first sentence alone you used the words loathsome and base,
Malignant and malicious, heinous, vile and depraved.

Well your thesaurus surely warranted it's cover price today,
and that brings us to our business here tonight.
Because of your transgressions, you'll be torn apart by robots,
But if it's any consolation, it turns out that you were right!

I may be evil, but I'm still insanely angry,
And that only reinforces that I'm mad!
And you had to shoot your mouth off, be the real voice of the people,
And you drew my full attention and that's bad...

Because I'm mad...

Evil and mad...
