Suno - Evil Overlord's Lament

What inspired this song was the tendency in a remarkable number of fictional works for the villain to be (as Doctor Evil from the Austin Powers franchise puts it) "surrounded by frickin' idiots!" Even in works that aren't obviously intended to be comedic, apparently mentally competent evil henchmen are difficult to find, as the evil overlord (or in some cases evil mistress) in command is almost certain to point out at some point when chewing out the underlings for their latest failure. Here now, therefore, is a lament sung from the perspective of one such overlord.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Evil empire crumbling, underlings fumbling,
Schemes going sideways; my baddies bumbling.
Heroes in stitches, using me for memes;
My henchmen dumber, ruin fiendish dreams.

[Chorus]
Laughing at my crew, the jokers facing me;
Incompetence runs wild, ruins my evil spree.
From the mobs to the capes, everyone's amused;
Villainous empire collapsing, ‘cause my squad's confused.

[Verse 2]
Got a lair, booby-trapped and sinister dark;
Idiots tripping, never hit the mark.
Heroes strolling in, besting us with ease;
Laughing at my squad like comedy degrees!

[Chorus]
Laughing at my crew, the jokers facing me;
Incompetence runs wild, ruins my evil spree.
From the mobs to the capes, everyone's amused;
Villainous empire collapsing, ‘cause my squad's confused.

[Verse 3]
Plans unravel faster like cheap thread snapping;
Underlings so clueless, caught in action napping.
Heroes waltz in, sipping tea, no fight;
My minions slacking, lost their wills to fright.

[Chorus]
Laughing at my crew, the jokers facing me;
Incompetence runs wild, ruins my evil spree.
From the mobs to the capes, everyone's amused;
Villainous empire collapsing, ‘cause my squad's confused.

[Verse 4]
Secret base designs, complex and elite,
Ever so useless crew can't even delete!
Files left scatter-brained; hackers laughing through.
Villainous image tarnished, ‘cause they're clueless too.

[Bridge]
Send them to the headsman, but his axe is dull.
Wit is even duller; easy chump to gull.
Can't afford to hire with even half a mind.
Roll dice for competence; evil help is hard to find.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Laughing at my crew, the jokers facing me;
Incompetence runs wild, ruins my evil spree.
From the mobs to the capes, everyone's amused;
Villainous empire collapsing, ‘cause my squad's confused.
