there was a wicked man

(now everybody fall)

there was a crooked lad
who had a crooked core
took from his crooked dad
that crookedness and more
but bad was all he had
no light could be explored
he let it drive him mad
all that it was good for

something’s coming this way
with crookedness and all
as we stand in its fray
now everybody fall

there was a wicked man
who had a wicked heart
he hatched his wicked plan
to play his wicked part
he knew most wouldn’t stand
so kept them in the dark
a bit of sleight of hand
was useful from the start

something’s coming this way
with wickedness and all
as we stand in its fray
now everybody fall

there was a greedy clan
which had a greedy core
reached out their greedy hand
to feed their greedy horde
picked up the wicked man
their model evermore
made it into their brand
as they had greed before

something’s coming this way
with avarice and all
as we stand in its fray
now everybody fall

there was a crooked state
that walked a crooked path
maintained a crooked gait
gave crookedness a pass
the clan they did instate
which set the aftermath
they ground us into hate
divided us in half

something’s coming this way
with crookedness and all
as we stand in its fray
now everybody fall

there was a wicked man
who had a wicked brain
he hatched a wicked plan
for his own wicked gain
supported by the clan
they amped up all the strain
they stacked the bench and stand
and all the rest was pain

something’s coming this way
with wickedness and all
as we stand in its fray
now everybody fall
