You Ain’t Even (scratch)

You think you’re a saint
Cuz you’re not a sinner
You say you’re a hero
Cuz you aint a villain
You think the way to be loved
Is to never be hated
You say they can never kill or destroy
What was never created

And you think that you’re right
Cuz you avoid being wrong
You think you’re in tune
Cuz you won’t sing your song
And you gotta be happy
Cuz you’re never crying
You seem so successful
Could it be you’re not trying

Cuz I’m here to tell ‘ya that you ain’t even
Whatever the hell ‘ya no doubt believe in
You can’t hide or deny me cuz I’ll get even
You can’t be somethin’ if you ain’t nothin’

You say you’re a winner
But tell me who have you lost
You claim to be wealthy
But never cover the cost
You got all of the answers
That you never question
You got impeccable taste
Or could it be indigestion

Yeah I’m here to tell ‘ya that you ain’t even
Whatever the hell ‘ya no doubt believe in
You can’t hide or deny me cuz I’ll get even
You can’t be somethin’ if you ain’t nothin’

No you can’t be somethin’ without me, without me
Even as evil, as evil as I am (just about as evil as you could be)
You know that you wanna be something, dontcha wanna be somethin’
So give me a reason to give you a good god damn

You’re shining your virtue
By hiding your vice
Fig leaves after feasting
Tell me who pays the price
Your candle of kindness
Could never burn me
But it’s casting a shadow on me, unseen
