The Lyrics
I don't expect high marks for humour!
EVIL’S ALL AROUND
Evil’s all around,
It’s no matter where you go.
Evil’s all around,
And for mankind it’s a blow.
And you may think that I’m pessimistic;
May think I’m right out of line.
But you’ve only to look all around you,
And you’ll soon find your thoughts will match mine.
Evil’s all around,
Where you live, or far away.
Evil’s all around,
Every night and every day.
And it’s time that we all did something,
Has to be straight away.
If we don’t, then I fear for the future,
And the devil will have his own way.
Evil’s all around,
Evil’s all around,
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh.
Evil’s all around,
And religion is to blame.
Evil’s all around,
Don’t you think that it’s a shame.
I just wish we could all come together,
Wish we all had one belief.
Then the world would be so much the better,
And the peace would then give us relief.
Evil’s all around,
It’s no matter where you go.
Evil’s all around,
And for mankind it’s a blow.
So please pray we can all come together,
Pray that we have one belief.
Then the world would be so much the better,
And the peace would then give us relief.
Evil’s all around,
Evil’s all around,
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh.
Evil’s all around,
It’s no matter where you go.
Evil’s all around,
And for mankind it’s a blow.
And you may think that I’m pessimistic;
May think I’m right out of line.
But you’ve only to look all around you,
And you’ll soon find your thoughts will match mine.
Evil’s all around,
Where you live, or far away.
Evil’s all around,
Every night and every day.
And it’s time that we all did something,
Has to be straight away.
If we don’t, then I fear for the future,
And the devil will have his own way.
Evil’s all around,
Evil’s all around,
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh.
Evil’s all around,
And religion is to blame.
Evil’s all around,
Don’t you think that it’s a shame.
I just wish we could all come together,
Wish we all had one belief.
Then the world would be so much the better,
And the peace would then give us relief.
Evil’s all around,
It’s no matter where you go.
Evil’s all around,
And for mankind it’s a blow.
So please pray we can all come together,
Pray that we have one belief.
Then the world would be so much the better,
And the peace would then give us relief.
Evil’s all around,
Evil’s all around,
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh.
