I shot John F.Kennedy in Dallas in 63
|
They blamed it on Oswald carelessly
|
But it was the devil in me
|
Put Jesus on the cross, I put a gag on the Boss
|
I kissed him on the cheek so he couldn't speak
|
But that was the devil in me
|
It was the devil in me
|
It's the devil in me that's unlevelling me
|
Put it down to the devil in me
|
|
I made you breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the bed
|
I made you cry, couldda made you laugh instead
|
But that was the devil in me
|
So I killed you off, I tore your famous brown furcoat
|
I laughed at your cough, ignored your suicide note
|
But that was the devil in me.....
|
|
I blew up the bus, I started World War III
|
Hijacked the plane with Qadaffi, blew the hostages free
|
That was the devil in me
|
I'm sponsored by a company that I don't believe in
|
I advertise their things for cash, that ain't deceiving
|
No, that's just the devil in me
|
It was the devil in me....
|
|
I gave you acid rain
|
I polluted the sea
|
I covered your thoughts up
|
With graffiti
|
You can call me by my real name
|
Or you can call me humanity
|
Because it all seems just like human behaviour
|
It all seems like human behaviour to me
|
Put it down to the devil in me
|
|
It was the devil in me
|
It was the devil in me
|
Well it's the devil in me makes me do these things
|
Devil in me that makes me sing
|
Devil in me gave you a wedding ring
|
Put it down to the devil in me
|
