T. Karras - The Villain Lyrics

I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
I'm a nice guy who's words against me turned me evil
I'm trying to be a believer but the pain is hard
I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
For if you know me, than you know I'm speaking the truth
And I'll continue to do it for the rest of my life

I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
I'm a nice guy who's words against me turned me evil
I'm trying to be a believer but the pain is hard
I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
For if you know me, than you know I'm speaking the truth
And I'll continue to do it for the rest of my life

I'm the bad guy, in everybody's eyes
But you should know, behind that disguise
Lies a very noble man with good intentions
Who doesn't even know how to present them
I've been labeled a lot of things
A weirdo, a creep, what am I supposed to think?
When you say these things direct to me
I wanted to be normal as a kid, believe me
But I've been outcasted to the outskirts of the edge
Trying to figure out how to meet the day's ends
With everybody spitting on me like I'm just plain wrong
Why you still hold on? I'm just trying to move on
I know what I said may not be the truth
But what the f*ck do you want me to say in the booth?
I'm not lying, I'm not making excuses
I ain't an abuser of trust, so I'm confused as to why I'm the villain

I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
I'm a nice guy who's words against me turned me evil
I'm trying to be a believer but the pain is hard
I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
For if you know me, than you know I'm speaking the truth
And I'll continue to do it for the rest of my life

I admit, my history may not be the greatest
But I feel like The Joker because I just can't take it
I tried making up, but they just push me away
I don't know what to do, is this the role I play?
Causing madness everywhere that I go?
Being a pariah, is my life really that cold?
To the point where I might just break
Take a gun, drive up and rob a bank
I thought humanity wanted you to grow and evolve?
I guess society f*cked up when they wanted to devolve
Label people thugs and criminals, throw them on the streets
Then lock them up jails, that's how the cycle repeats
And I'm doomed to be a part of that cause I'm the villain
Always killin' my opportunities to be a productive member
Of society, I ain't lyin', I always self-destruct
So what the f*ck can I do to stop myself from exploding?

I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
I'm a nice guy who's words against me turned me evil
I'm trying to be a believer but the pain is hard
I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
For if you know me, than you know I'm speaking the truth
And I'll continue to do it for the rest of my life

I always ask to God, what can I do for redemption?
I guess God and I don't have that type of connection
I'm on my own, all the time, 365
On the grind, with my mind I might as well be blind
How the f*ck can I be all the things they call me?
I'm even called a scamster by the scamsters, that hurts me
How can I be less honest than those selling blank CDs?
I produce my own material, you've got to believe
In what I'm trying to do, in what my intentions are
I'm not trying to be a star, I'm trying to raise the bar
So that others can be who they want to be
Not live in fear of always failing to succeed
But my job is hard because I've been outcasted
As autistic and compulsive, how have I lasted
For so long? I don't know, but I have a mission
Even though you won't listen, I'mma do it anyway

I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
I'm a nice guy who's words against me turned me evil
I'm trying to be a believer but the pain is hard
I'm the villain, that's what they say
But don't believe everything that they say
For if you know me, than you know I'm speaking the truth
And I'll continue to do it for the rest of my life
