Is such a simple task\\
It's not enough to make the stuff\\
I'll eat it, at long last!\\
The flavor of the suffering\\
The anguish, and the tears\\
Will be my pay for the awful way\\
I was treated all these years!\\
\\
"Make me cake, say, baker man!"\\
"Make a donut if you can!"\\
"Make me French bread, I don't care\\
If it's nighttime-- just get out there!"\\
"No rest, no peace, you can't slow down!"\\
"Share your labor with the town!"\\
Won't be pushed around!\\
\\
I have toiled!\\
But this island's spoiled!\\
My fury BOILS!\\
\\
They will know the way it feels\\
To be treated like a meal\\
When they drown!''

->I don’t think that every villain in the world actually thinks they’re being a good guy, but I do think that everybody creates a value system that justifies the actions they’re taking, and and I think there’s a difference between those two things. Not everybody believes that they’re on the side of righteousness, but everybody has a way of justifying the actions they’re taking. Not every villain has to be a misunderstood hero, and in fact I think there are a lot of instances throughout history of people who were obviously doing the wrong thing and probably had an understanding of that on some level, but had some rationale or justification for it.
