I have an axe to grind and a silver-tongue
With just a whisper 
I can steal all the air from your lungs
And I have a dark secret to take
To my grave
But if you ask, ever so politely 
I'll imbue it with life
That will outlast even me, after my mistakes
 
I'm the bad guy that fits all the clichés
The crook in charge of the heist
The evil mastermind
With the doomsday device
And I can see that you're surprised
But I wasn't always
I went to sleep one night a saint
And awoke a knave
After all the nonsense the world dropped on me
You would have done the same
 
"I need justification," you say
Something to sink your teeth into
Good intentions to pave the way
But with a sliver of bad luck and the tiniest hiccup
We've now been led astray
With daggers in our backs
And a debt it would take four lifetimes to pay
Is that justification enough?
 
And so I believe I've done more good in this world
As the villain who isn't bound by morals or rules
No more footprints on my forehead
No more waiting in line
No more sacrificing what I worked hard for
Just to barely scrape by 
 
I'll step on you to get what I want
I'll laugh as I push you aside
All while carrying the most pleasant smile
As nothing can bring me down from this immaculate high
 
I'm the scorned woman that was shaped by this cruel world
Oh, the cruel creature it made me to be..
I shed my saintly skin to reveal a poisonous snake
And if you want to survive you'll take this as advice
