Never bet against self righteous perversions  
winning another round in your eternal struggle  
between good and evil. 
They never disappear for good; these demonic shackles 
will bind you just when your mouth claims them gone,  
and then you’re caught with your pants down around your ankles. 
Alcohol or drugs, sex or violence 
Little school girls with white panties,  
or glory holes in a bathroom bay 
You can go to church, opening your bibles to pray 
but 
Evil has a way of knowing  
when we are at our weakest point 
And then it hits you with the fine print in your contract 
When you swore you would do anything if only… 
You could have your way…
