What’s it like to be the bad guy in the movies

How do people treat you in reality

Is each role worth it or just another fatality

In a tucked-in, button-up shirt

Hair slicked back

How many people on the screen do you hurt

Do you ever do the math

I heard a philosopher say: If you don’t feel a certain way about something, act like you do

It’ll make what you want come true

So what if you act like the bad guy

Deep down, what’s it imply?

If you hit women

If you steal, if you cheat

Do you study evil in order to act it out

Where is the line drawn

When does the study of evil become wrong

The wires in your head get crossed

The path to sin embossed

What do people say on the sidewalks

And the coffee shops

Bad guys make films that pay

Others watch to see the way

Do you change clothes after it all

Or wash your face

At home at night, do you meditate

Are you who you were made to be

It’s the question of reality
