Sheer Depravity Lyrics

You want to know what I really am?
Like you'd honestly give a damn
You wouldn't ever believe a word
Of all the pain
The way I hurt
You've come to stare
Not to look
For the cover
Burn the book
Let me give you a sample then

If you wanna know what I really am

So you say
I'm evil
Sheer depravity
But I'm no more evil
Than you make me be

Did I just see you hesitate
Let's get it over with
Don't you be late
Just push it down
Don't pity me
It's now to be
Or not to be
Do you believe in America
Unsullied of all sin you are
So pull the lever
Pull it down
And wear your virtues
As a crown

So you say
I'm evil
Sheer depravity
But I'm no more evil
Than you make me be

Had I been born in a better life
I could have been on the other side
Had I been born in a better life
Then who would be in my place tonight?

So you say
I'm evil
Sheer depravity
But you need my evil
Like the night the day
