Ain't no one ever seen the face of his foe
No, he ain't made of flesh and bone
He's the one who sits up close behind you
And when he's there, you are alone

[Chorus]
Every man is evil, yes, every man's a liar
Unashamed of the wicked tongue
Singing the black soul choir
Every man is evil, yes, every man's a liar
Unashamed of the wicked tongue
Singing the black soul choir
Oh, get out of my way
Oh, get out of my way

Yes, no man has ever seen the face of our Lord
No, not since he's left his skin
He's the one that you keep cold on the outside, girl
He's at your door, just let him in

[Chorus]
Every man is evil, yes, every man's a liar
Unashamed of the wicked tongue
Singing the black soul choir
Every man is evil, yes, every man's a liar
Unashamed of the wicked tongue
Singing the black soul choir
Oh, get out of my way
Oh, get out of my way
I will forgive your wrongs, yes, I am able
For my own, I feel great shame
I would offer up a brick to the back of your head boy, if i was Cain

[Chorus]
Every man is evil, yes, every man's a liar
Unashamed of the wicked tongue
Singing the black soul choir
Every man is evil, yes, every man's a liar
Unashamed of the wicked tongue
Singing the black soul choir
Oh, get out of my way
Oh, get out of my way
