Let That Devil Out

Henry Rollins


man, we got to get this together 
we got to take control or we're never gonna get out of control 
all that proper conduct is a con too heavy to bear 
I've heard tale the truth will set you free 
sounds good to me 
sounds good to me 

gotta find the sin within 
and let the game begin 
if you want to jump and shout 
you gotta let that devil out 
you gotta let that devil 
let that devil 
let that devil out 

you know how it is 
day to day always the same 
day in, day out, same ol' freak out 
you got an angel on one shoulder 
devil on the other 
you got an angel on one shoulder 
devil on the other 
angel says "hold back, hold back" 
devil says "attack, attack" 
angel says "hold back, hold back" 
devil says "attack, attack" 

you want it? 
you better get it 
you want it? 
you better get it 
or forget it 
and regret it 
or forget it 
and regret it forever 

find the sin within 
let the game begin 
if you want to jump and shout 
you gotta let that devil out 
you gotta let that devil 
let that devil 
let that devil out 
oh let it out 
oh yeah 
hey 

mmmm, mmmm, mmmm 
yep 
so many ripe apples on the low branch of the tree 
you want to reach up and pull one down and take a bite 
and while you know your arms are long enough 
they feel a little too short 
like life is a little too short 
a little too short for letting temptation ruin 
an otherwise riotously good time 
temptation? 
lets put temptation on the unenjoyment line 
what do you say? 

find the sin within 
you gotta let the game begin 
if you want to jump and shout 
you gotta let that devil out 
you gotta let that devil 
let that devil 
let that devil out 
oh come on 
oh yeah 
hey 
oh yeah 
alright
