    LYRICS:
    When the Devil is too busy
    And Death's a bit too much
    They call on me by name you see,
    For my special touch.
    To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
    To the Ladies I'm Sir Prize
    But call me by any name
    Any way it's all the same
    I'm the fly in your soup
    I'm the pebble in your shoe
    I'm the pea beneath your bed
    I'm a bump on every head
    I'm the peel on which you slip
    I'm a pin in every hip
    I'm the thorn in your side
    Makes you wriggle and writhe
    And it's so easy when you're evil
    This is the life, you see
    The Devil tips his hat to me
    I do it all because I'm evil
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    While there's children to make sad
    While there's candy to be had
    While there's pockets left to pick
    While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
    I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner
    It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it
    'Cause there's one born every minute
    And it's so easy when you're evil
    This is the life, you see
    The Devil tips his hat to me
    I do it all because I'm evil
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
    And I promise on my damned soul
    To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
    Has never seen a soldier quite like me
    Not only does his job, but does it happily.
    I'm the fear that keeps you awake
    I'm the shadows on the wall
    I'm the monsters they become
    I'm the nightmare in your skull
    I'm a dagger in your back
    An extra turn on the rack
    I'm the quivering of your heart
    A stabbing pain, a sudden start.
    And it's so easy when you're evil
    This is the life, you see
    The Devil tips his hat to me
    I do it all because I'm evil
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    It gets so lonely being evil
    What I'd do to see a smile
    Even for a little while
    And no one loves you when you're evil
    I'm lying though my teeth!
    Your tears are all the company I need

I've found this songs and others of this kinda style help a lot. It really makes me feel better- Like nothing can get to me cuz I'm too evil for it.

    Lyrics (correct me if I'm wrong!)
    When the devil is too busy
    And death's a bit too much
    They call on me by name, you see
    For my special touch
    To the gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune
    To the ladies I'm Sir Prize
    But call me by any name
    Any way it's all the same
    I'm the fly in your soup
    I'm the pebble in your shoe
    I'm the pea beneath your bed
    I'm a bump on every head
    I'm the peel on which you slip
    I'm a pin in every hip
    I'm the thorn in your side
    Makes you wriggle and writhe
    And it's so easy when you're evil
    This is the life, you see
    The devil tips his hat to me
    I do it all because I'm evil
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    While there's children to make sad
    While there's candy to be had
    While there's pockets left to pick
    While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs, I'll be there
    I'll be waiting 'round the corner
    It's a game, I'm glad I'm in it
    'Cause there's one born every minute
    And it's so easy when you're evil
    This is the life, you see
    The devil tips his hat to me
    I do it all because I'm evil
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    I pledge my allegiance to all things dark
    And I promise on my damned soul
    To do as I am told
    Lord Beelzebub has never seen a soldier quite like me
    Not only does his job, but does it happily
    I'm the fear that keeps you awake
    I'm the shadows on the wall
    I'm the monsters they become
    I'm the nightmare in your skull
    I'm a dagger in your back
    An extra turn upon the rack
    I'm the quivering of your heart
    A stabbing pain, a sudden start
    And it's so easy when you're evil
    This is the life, you see
    The devil tips his hat to me
    I do it all because I'm evil
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    And I do it all for free
    Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
    It gets so lonely being evil
    What I'd do to see a smile
    Even for a little while
    And no one loves you when you're evil
    I'm lying though my teeth
    Your tears are all the company I need

    In the song "When You're Evil" there is a decided catchy tune. My autistic grandson wanted me to play it for him on the phone and asked "Do I like it?" Well, not my style, but I remember being a kid. I liked really spooky movies. I hid under the seat and saw nothing, but enjoyed the scary tunes and well, hoped I'd live through it. I did. He's just like me I guess...Lol.

      Timmy is right, it would be better if you went out and stabbed someone.

      I agree with the people above me! Stabbing is a wonderful thing, and we should all not maybe do it, possibly not.

    A good friend of mine linked me to this song a week or so ago, to introduce me to you Voltaire. I ended up listening to it with half an ear, while doing other things. I didn't realise how wonderful and funny it was until today. Now I've put it on repeat, and though I've heard it over a dozen times in the past hour or so, I still want more. I'm excited to look up more of your songs and works!!

    I can imagine Sock from Welcome to Hell singing this to Jonathan while tormenting him-just replace the words "Lord Beelzebub" with "Mephistopheles" and you're good to go. :)

    theme song for 100 Tears (clowns, carnage and crimson by the bucketful) in case any of you were wondering. This is the track responsible for my recent of uncurable of addiction. Thanx.

    I convinced the people writing my high school production to include this in it as the theme song for the main villain last year. The crowd loved it! It's quite the song, and we have you to thank, Mr. Voltaire.

    Voltaire has been a huge crush of mine since I was younger, and he has only aged like the finest of wine and my palette is more even more refined
