Good 'n' Evil
Jekyll & Hyde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good and evil -
And their merits -
Men have argued through history -
As well they should!
My philosophy
Any child can see -
"Good is evil -
All evil is good"
How do you tell evil from good?
Evil does well - good not so good!
Evil's the one that is free everywhere -
Good is the one that they sell!
You must decide which is heaven -
Which is hell!
Good men maintain, evil's a curse! -
But it is plain good's even worse!
Evil's the one that they tell you to shun -
Good is the one to embrace
Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face!
The battle between good and evil
Goes back to the start -
Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart!
The key thing about good 'n' evil -
Each man has to choose! -
Heaven 'n' hell
Is a helluva gamble to lose! -
But as I peruse
This world we abuse -
It's hell that we choose -
And heaven must lose!
Evil is everywhere -
Good doesn't have a prayer!
Good is commendable -
Evil's dependable!
Evil is viable
Good's unreliable!
Good may be thankable!
Evil is bankable!
Evil's for me - you can have good!
It doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood!
It's easier by far, from the way that things are,
To remain good 'n' evil
And try to be evil and good!
In Jekyll & Hyde's song "Good 'n' Evil", Lucy sings about the age-old debate of good versus evil, questioning the true nature of each one. She suggests that the dichotomy between good and evil is not as straightforward as it seems, and that there may be some overlap between the two.
Lucy's philosophy is that "good is evil and therefore all evil is good", indicating that what may be considered good by some can have negative consequences and what is considered evil might have some beneficial aspects. She urges individuals to decide for themselves which path to follow, heaven or hell, noting that the world tends to choose the latter. Lucy hints that it may be easier to be both good and evil, rather than trying to choose one over the other.
The song highlights how the debate between good and evil has been talked about throughout history and its relevance in modern times. It emphasizes the importance of personal choice and the consequences of that choice.
