The evil one is the great deceiver,
He'll steal your soul when you turn around,
Oh, he's just doing evil,
Any chance he can get you down, he'll rip your flesh tear your heart right out,
Oh, he's just doing evil.

Well, if you're looking for a friend, don't ever look in his direction,
If you need someone to lift you up, he's gonna tell you that you're out of luck,
Oh, he's just doing evil,
Well, I said, oh, he's just doing evil.

But there is one who can lift you up, take you away from this life of sin,
He's the one, he's the God above,
He wants to take you into his kingdom.

Oh, stay away from evil,
Well, I said, oh, stay away from evil,
Oh, stay away from evil,
Never turn around,
Oh, stay away from evil.
