Lucifer knows that I have been devil may care
This world has been my playground far and wide.
At the end of life I'll be on that downward stair.
I just figured it wasn't hip to be a square.
I didn't want to swallow any of my pride.
Lucifer knows that I have been devil may care.
Of dark and dastardly deeds I have done my share.
My next entertainment is to simply get fried.
At the end of life I'll be on that downward stair.
Gabriel will give me his most glowering glare
recounting all the times that I lied and defied.
Lucifer knows that I have been devil may care.
How do you live life without a devious dare?
What is life when good and evil do not collide?
At the end of Life I'll be on that downward stair.
With other hellions I will have stories to share
as we sit on rocks in the new home we reside.
Lucifer knows that I have been devil may care.
At the end of life I'll be on the downward stair.

Yin-Yang It, Baby
There can't be light without the dark. It's all good. Perhaps you're just contributing a bit more to the darker side of things than convention suggests is appropriate. Heck, there's plenty of folks that would never dream of the dark like those insufferable sweetness-and-light people you secretly want to slap.
So...maybe you're just balancing out the scales in a grand cosmic gesture of magnificent philanthropy!
P.S. - Lucifer stands for "light-bearer", by the way. Go figure.
