It doesn't always have a shape Almost never does it have a name It maybe has a pitchfork maybe has a tail But evil is alive and well It might walk upright from out of the inferno May be coming horseback through deep snow It's ragged and fat hungry as hell Evil is alive and well Evil is alive Evil is well Evil is alive Evil is well On your feet to the tower and yell Evil is alive and well May be too humble to want to speak May have a blood soaked bird in its teeth Smoked filled skies and bees in the well Evil is alive and well Maybe in a palace it may be in the streets May be here among us on a crowded beach May be asleep in a roadside motel But evil is alive and well Evil is alive Evil is well Evil is alive Evil is well On your feet to the tower and yell Evil is alive and well It's well Down in every ditch Up on every hill It's well I've got my radio on Drowning the bells When midnight's done and the day won't start And All I ever gave you was a broken heart It's hard to admit but it's easy to tell That evil is alive and well
