xcix. WONDER, Stevie (1950- )
Evil (1972)
SW, all instruments
(3:33)
From Music of my Mind.
Stevie was just getting started. He had discovered synthesizers and used them discreetly -- but you can hear his songs begin to develop tighter structures, more complex chord changes and meaningful lyrics.
Evil, why have you engulfed so many hearts? Evil
Evil, why have you destroyed so many minds?
Leavin' room for darkness, where lost dreams can hide
Evil, why do you infest our purest thoughts with hatred?
Evil, why have you stolen so much love?
Leavin' everyone's emotions lost and wandering free
Evil, why have you taken over God's children's eyes? Evil
Evil, before they could really grow to see
That your way is not the way to make life what it should be
Evil, why have you destroyed
You've destroyed so much of this doggone world?
Evil, hey, evil, oh, why have you broken so many homes?
Leavin' sweet love all alone, an outcast of the world
Evil, why have you engulfed so many hearts? Evil
Evil, why have you destroyed so many minds?
Leavin' room for darkness, where lost dreams can hide
Evil, why do you infest our purest thoughts with hatred?
Evil, why have you stolen so much love?
Leavin' everyone's emotions lost and wandering free
Evil, why have you taken over God's children's eyes? Evil
Evil, before they could really grow to see
That your way is not the way to make life what it should be
Evil, why have you destroyed
You've destroyed so much of this doggone world?
Evil, hey, evil, oh, why have you broken so many homes?
Leavin' sweet love all alone, an outcast of the world
