Is there an evil in this world Yes, there's an evil in this world Is there an evil in this world Yes, there's an evil in this world And it creeps up from behind you When you are least suspecting Is there a dog in this race Yes, there's a dog in this race I'm looking at this tail But I'm thinking about his face So I keep on pushing forward Acquiring and collecting Is there an absolute beginning Or something beyond the end Will I come back as that dog Will I have to live through this again The truth seems sour between us In the spaces we're neglecting When push comes to shove And our devils come at us running Will we be caught in the flood Or something far less stunning Will the serum keep us honest From the answers we're deflecting There's a voice within the void I swear it sounds familiar But then the truth that we've destroyed Whispering "Come here" And the answer is within you But it keeps on disconnecting There's an evil in this world I've seen it in the news Of babies dead in schools Or scattered in the pews For reasons without answers In the dark beyond protection I'm moving through the void Staring down the fright show Standing in the darkness Just waiting for the light show I try with all my might To seek the truth you've been rejecting Seeking some salvation To the limits of my talents I hold my family close Just trying to find the balance Between the bad shit going down And the beauty this life can keep injecting There's a whiplash in the news In the evil mans tirades The jokers motorcade And military parades Lives in the balance of the dirty deals Made to win elections Guns and ammunition Babies in the cage They say nothing can be done But they tell us how they prayed In the end we're just standing Watching greatness fade Into darkness, awaiting resurrection
