The Evil That Men Display

I met that guy, that guy late one night

His face was gleaming in the pale moonlight

His arms were scarred, a guitar in hand

I found it hard to keep my stand

I raised my very last beer for defense

He said "Thank you" in a mocking sense

And he said: "If I could start anew

I would play stuff like you!"

It's meant to shock you off

They try to scare away

They're really not that tough

Don't fear the evil that men display!

We played a show, a show far away

We left the bus for the restrooms urgently

Some local band had put on their make-up

The bathroom's floor soaked with blood

They played their show in an infernal way

Backstage we could hear them say:

"Don't you buy that new mascara!

You won't look well, smears like hell"

It's meant to shock you off

They try to scare away

They're really not that tough

Don't fear the evil that men display!

At first it scares you, strikes you with fright

Then it appears in a different light

What seemed to be an offensive attack?

Preventive defense to keep you back

If you see someone scary and frightful

Believe in half of what you see

Because the guys who are really nasty

Know to pretend they are friends

It's meant to shock you off

They try to scare away

They're really not that tough

Don't fear the evil that men display!

It's meant to shock you off

They try to scare away

They're really not that tough

Don't fear the evil that men display!
