Lyrics: TroubleĀ Ā 

If youā€™re looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If youā€™re looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because Iā€™m evil, my middle name is misery
Well Iā€™m evil, so donā€™t you mess around with me
Iā€™ve never looked for trouble
But Iā€™ve never ran
I donā€™t take no orders
From no kind of man
Iā€™m only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if youā€™re gonna start a rumble
Donā€™t you try it on alone
Because Iā€™m evil, my middle name is misery
Well Iā€™m evil, so donā€™t you mess around with me
Iā€™m evil, evil, evil, as can be
Iā€™m evil, evil, evil, as can be
So donā€™t mess around donā€™t mess around donā€™t mess around with me
Iā€™m evil, Iā€™m evil, evil, evil
So donā€™t mess around, donā€™t mess around with me
Iā€™m evil, I tell you Iā€™m evil
So donā€™t mess around with me
Yeah!
