Boy Obvious

I’m going to sleep now
having been called the Antichrist
by a man in the street

who pointed at me
in front of everyone
saying I had to be that

for the Antichrist
when he does wrong is feared
and when he does right

is assumed to be the Deceiver
and that’s you he said
that’s you boy oh Boy Obvious

I think of how often
I’ve done wrong or right
and how often I’ve been feared

and then blamed
Maybe it’s no more
than anyone else

but I think I feel it more
so I’m going to sleep off
the weight of my evil

Boy oh Boy Obvious
I’m the Antichrist to a crazy man
and to some guy in the street
