My Evil Plan To Save The World Lyrics
To save the world for every man,
And I think it's better than
The way it's being run.
Oh, the ground works laid,
No don't be afraid,
I'm sure that I can fix it,
When I figure out the physics.
just you wait 'till it's unfurled,
it'll go down in history.
It's prophetic,
no it's not pathetic.
I can't believe I made it up myself.
To save the world you understand,
The exemplary feat,
You'd think I'd have to cheat.
I'd make Voltaire proud,
Deep and furrow browed.
Uncanny and so clever,
it's 'Our Newest Plan Ever!'
Got tired of whining,
A grander scheme with silver lining,
For every boy and girl.
We can't be responsible,
For all that's wrong with this world.
You can't believe in that God.
The world's not spinning your way,
Does every dog still get his day?
This song seems to be about people who think they know better than God.
The line about "starving children in pain" is a common argument for why God, as Christians think of Him, can not exist. If God was omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, why would he let children starve?
This song attempts to address that argument by basically mocking the idea that man can have a better solution for how the world should work, rather than the way God has created it.
I discovered this band by accident after looking for a copy of the Canadian National Anthem. I downloaded Oh, Canada, loved it, and downloaded this song. My Evil Plan To Save the World has fast become my new favorite song.
Definitely a good song...FIF is awesome. Although I did think the last line was does every dog still have his day... but that's cool. :)

what a great song!!!! it's one of my favorites by FIF!!!
Yep the horns are great on this one too.....when i first heard it, was kinda cofusing.
this song rocks...it's about him wanting to make change with whats wrong in the world...FIF rocks it's sad that they're disbanding
This song is amazing. I played it over and over again for like an hour every day when i first got this CD. It truely is awesome.
I love this song, it is hillarious! There horn section kicks mega ass!
i love his voice..and the horns are so catchy, i like how they threw in what sounded like "mary had a little lamb" in the solo thing at 2:10ish
Wow, I think that last one is a great interpretation! This is the very first song I ever heard by them back in 03 and I was so confused by that line. I think they needed to unfold the concept a bit more. But it's so great anyway.
I found a couple of verses in the Bible that address this particular question posed in the song: Jeremiah 12:1-4. Jeremiah asks on the firsts why is the world being unfair. Yet I would speak with you about your justice (The world's not spinning your way), Set them apart for the day of slaughter (does every dog still have his day?). It would explain why is it "prophetic", perhaps a hint of where it's coming from.

God answers from the start the fact: Don't go over your head with this (If you have raced with men on foot...
God answers from the start the fact: Don't go over your head with this (If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses?). However, it seems like FIF just tries to portray every single Christian who comes to ask himself why the world doesn't go the way it's supposed to, or so he thinks. Awesome stuff.
