Going My Evil Way
Do you think a man with
an eighty-million dollar ponzi
scheme is evil?
Where did all those investments go?
Causing those investors so much woe.
I think it's hard for us to know.
Just when you think he's a businessman
you can trust.
All your hard-earned money turns to dust.
There was faith and confidence in the
man's savvy.
He went on for so long
misleading the wealthy.
That's enough pain for any one man to cause.
You can choose a terrorist or a murderer
to think about evil, too.
The intensity of the dream is what counts.
Wherein a man has striven and achieved
his goal.
His lack of conscience displays no innocence.
Mistakes, then, are not evil.
A cold man is prone to evil.
Morality is no good to evil;
evil is no good to morality.
Who wins out?
Abstract rules have a hard time
with the thrill of evil.
