Story Behind The Song
Evil often hides in the form of good intentions. For this song, we go back to this worn-out, but still valuable quote:
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
- Nietzche, Beyond Good and Evil
The mantra of revolution is often that once a few "necessary evils" are taken care of, they can stop and that the ends will justify the means. Whether it's the French Revolution or the Bolsheviks, history hasn't borne that out. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Here is Sunspot with "Evil On Evil".

Lyrics
You want the power
but they won't go without a fight
you said you're gonna drain the swamp
this time you'll do it right
you said you want justice
no one said it'd be bloodless
it's time, the heads will roll
aint that how it always goes
Fire with fire, you gotta be lethal
it's just evil on evil
Drag em through the eye of a needle
now you're evil on evil
Tie up the noose
payback's a bitch
fail the purity test
we'll burn the witch.
Fire with fire, you gotta be lethal
it's just evil on evil
Drag em through the eye of a needle
now you're evil on evil
