Evil Genius Lyrics - Precious Time - Pat Benatar

They were so ecstatic when the letter arrived 

A certified genius at the age of five 

They planned his future so carefully 

He was everything they hoped he'd be 

He was a model child, a devoted son 

Loved and admired by everyone 

He played out every role, a "T.V. hero" 

He lived his life in a video fantasy 

He was good at school, never failed a grade 

They gave him hopes and dreams, and taught him not to hate 

He had rules he learned to break for fun 

Now he's hidin', 'cause his fingerprints on the gun

Why'd ya' have to do it Evil Genius? 

Was it justified in your mind? 

Why'd ya' put us through it Evil Genius? 

Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge? 

Was it something said that pushed you over the line? 

Your best interests were in our minds 

You kept it so well hidden, we never knew 

No one ever expected anything like this from you 

Why'd ya' have to do it Evil Genius? 

Was it justified in your mind? 

Why'd ya' put us through it Evil Genius? 

Was it justified in your mind anytime you held a grudge?
