The Evil One

Give me some credit
I've been doing my job and you don't get it
Nobody does

You got this habit
Of ruining everything, borderline wicked
'Cause nice just didn't have the same ring

I go unnoticed
As you pretend to be me, but you're not like me, you just look it
And I'm tired of being your opposite

You got the style, the wit, the eyepatch, and goatee
And all I got is me
And I'm good, but I'm not happy

I wanna be the evil one
The twin that has all the fun
I wanna be the evil one
Oh, please, let me just this once

All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
Maybe if I take your place, they'll finally care
Oh, the favourite son, I wanna be the evil one

I'm used to rejection
After all the shit you're putting me through
Every direction
Seeing fingers point at me when they mean you

You're in the paper
Every channel on TV
My doppleganger
Basking in your infamy

You're like a mirror
Showing me who I could be
If I was a monster
Hey, I heard that sinister's the new sexy

I get the short end of every stick you got
'Cause you're everything I'm not
Yeah, I'm good
But at least until I get caught

I wanna be the evil one
The twin that has all the fun
I wanna be the evil one
Oh, please, let me just this once

All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
Maybe if I take your place, they'll finally care
Oh, the favourite son, I wanna be the evil one

'Cause frauds have more fun
Who cares if I come undone
I'm justified
Frauds have more fun
Who cares if I come undone
I wanna be the evil one
I wanna be the evil one

All eyes on the other me like I'm not even there
Maybe if I take your place they'll finally care
Oh, the favourite son, I wanna be the evil one
Who cares if I come undone
I wanna be the evil one
