lyrics

Heard about a man in south louisiana, posing as preacher,
they say he hates women and children and dogs
try to feed your newborn baby to his hogs
if that ain't enough they say he killed his own son
evil in the flesh it ain't much fun
there's a little bit of killin that must be done
if somebody's gotta do it, i'll be the one
somebody's gotta do it, I'll be the one

Chorus:
I must be evil for I know not what is right
I must be evil for I only shine on a dark black night

Well I ain't been to church in a too long time
What haven't there wouldn't change my mind
It only left me colder
It only left me stone and cold

I walked into the service with a Bible in my hand
got a knife on a chain around my neck
another one on my hip
i turned to the congregation
I turned to make my peace
I said "the words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
I'm ready to mess, I don't mind the mud.

Chorus:
I must be evil for I know not what is right
I must be evil for I only shine on a dark black night
