Dark Side: The Contrary
Nature Of Man

(James Young - Alloy Music / A.S.C.A.P.)

When I was just a youngster
A child with conscience clean
Life's answers seemed so plain to me
But when we venture into
The world at large it seems
That things are different indeed
I need to know...

Why am I drawn to the dark side?
I'm so confused, & I'm wondering why
It seems like so much fun bein' bad
When they think I'm an innocent lad?

They taught me modern manners
Taught me to be polite
Taught everything they thought I'd need
But I've got burning questions
Tough choices facing me
What's my responsibility?
Tell me...

What's the attraction of the dark side?
The big bucks for those little white lies
And bein' good seems as boring as hell
I feel the pull of the dark side

Lyric opera & parlor games
They're much too tame
But it is insane?

To be drawn to the dark side
I'm really bored with the good guys
What makes me wanna sin until dawn
Even though I know it's wrong?

Ice cream socials & tiddlywinks
I think it stinks
I'm on the brink

Of being drawn to the dark side
I'm wide awake in the dead of night
Bein' good seems as boring as hell
I feel the pull of the dark side
