[DR. HORRIBLE]
Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don't know
If I'll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the water main
Listen close to everybody's heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world's filled with filth and lies
But it's plain to see
Evil, inside of me
Is on the rise
[PENNY]
Look around, we're living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you've almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground
And you believe there's good in everybody's heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope, you can do your part
To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise?
'Cause it seems to me
Some kind of harmony
Is on the rise
[DR. HORRIBLE & PENNY (overlapping)]
Anyone with half a brain / Take it slow
Could spend their whole life howling in pain
'Cause the dark is everywhere / He looks at me and seems to know
And Penny doesn't seem to care / The things that I'm afraid to show
And soon the dark in me is all that will remain / And suddenly I feel his glow
Listen close to everybody's heart / And I believe there's good in everybody's heart
And hear that breaking sound / Keep it safe and sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart / With hope, you can do your part
And crashing to the ground / And turn a life around
[DR. HORRIBLE & PENNY]
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world's
[DR. HORRIBLE & PENNY (overlapping)]
Filled with filth and lies / finally growing wise
But it's plain to see / And it's plain to see
Evil inside of me / Rapture inside of me
[DR. HORRIBLE & PENNY]
Is on the rise
