If I were the devil, I'd find a way somehow To make man think he created God, and not the other way around And what you see on TV will seem like the gospel truth And I'd make right look so wrong, it'd make wrong look so cool Yeah, anything to keep you out of heaven If I were the devil If I were the devil, everyone would just see color And I'd take all religions, and I'd turn them against each other I'd sit back and I'd love it, watch you fuel the hate Light fires on the evening news, and let them fan my flames Bring everybody down to my level If I were the devil I would keep on doin' what I'm doin' And what I'm doin' sure is workin' out And if you don't believe me, I could prove it Hey, all you need to do is look around Hey, I'd be thinkin' things just can't get better If I were the devil And I'd just keep on doin' what I'm doin' What I'm doin' sure is workin' out And if you don't believe me I could prove it Hey, all you need to do is look around Hey, I'd be thinkin' things just can't get better If I were the devil Now if I were the devil, when all is said and done I'd be the coward that I am and I'd tuck my tail and run I'd hide out in my darkness, and destined to regret If I were the devil, hell, I'd be scared to death
