EVIL UNDER THE SUN 

It seems so easy to lose the thread
Of the things I've done
Things I've said
To hurt you

And so much harder to pick it up again
And pretend it's just the same
Nothing has changed
Nothing has been said

I was only joking
So sorry it never comes across that way

Hey hey

Like spring is new
I'm the same as you

I just ignore the things you say
That hurt me
And move on

You think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun
With nothing to believe in

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

As life unwinds you meet a man
Who says God is time and Time's not kind
But money was the one
That always hurt you

And those who say that money is time
And time is money
Commit a crime against your mind
More fool you to believe it

Well I've been rich and I've been poor
And I think it's time to settle the score
Cause it seemed to me
Like being rich felt better

I was only joking
So sorry it never comes across that way

Hey hey

Like spring is new
I'm the same as you
The things that make me what I am
Are the things that you can't stand

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun
With nothing to believe in

You think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

It seems so easy to lose the thread
Of the things I've done
And the things I've said
To hurt you

And so much harder to pick it up again
And pretend it's just the same
Nothing has changed
Nothing has been said

I was only joking
So sorry it never comes across that way

Hey hey

Like spring is new
I'm the same as you
I just ignore the things you say
That hurt me

And move on

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

So you think you are the one
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

Look at what you have begun
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun

Look at what we have become
Evil under the sun
Evil under the sun
