Evil Genius-Lyrics:
They were so ecstatic when the letter arrived
A certified genius at the age of five
They planned his future so carefully
He was everything they hoped he'd be
He was a model child, a devoted son
Loved and admired by everyone
He played out every role, a "T.V. hero"
He lived his life, in a video fantasy
He was good at school, never failed a grade
They gave him hopes and dreams, and taught him not to hate
He had rules he learned, to break for fun
Now he's hidin', cause his fingerprints on the gun
Why'd ya have to do it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind
Why'd ya put us through it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge
Was it something said that pushed you over the line
Your best interests were in our minds
You kept it so well hidden, we never knew
No one ever expected anything like this from you
Why'd ya have to do it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind
Why'd ya put us through it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge
Why'd ya have to do it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind
Why'd ya put us through it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge
Why'd ya have to do it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind
Why'd ya put us through it evil genius
Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge

Individuality is the middle ground. Happy mediums don't exist, but rational ones do. A corporate suck up wants to belong, and a crackpot is distressed over not fitting in. The independent of mind are free.

@riverlioness Hee...I know, he's real smart. What a waste...
There's got to be a happy medium between corporate suck up, and complete crackpot, lol...

@Paganguy1 I dont think a pagan priest is considered an evil genius, maybe an oxygen theif or major parental mistake gone horrilby wrong. For sure someone that was more suitable for Hitlers oven bake recipes. too bad you got away! your future is certainly looking bright lucifer!
