You hide behind your eloquence
|
And some sound advice
|
But what's beneath your gross concern,
|
Ain't nuthin' nice
|
Manipulate us once again,
|
To see your way
|
But you all extort the chart, the cause,
|
And you go disarray
|
|
It had to be the will of god, but the devil made me do it
|
|
There's no solution to this method
|
Of passing the buck
|
But there's one thing you can be sure of,
|
His will remains stuck
|
But she'll look good and that's all that matters,
|
That's how you were taught
|
In this situation you had no control
|
To be distraught
|
|
It had to be the will of god, but the devil made me do it
|
|
When it comes to the verbal stinger
|
You can surely talk a good game
|
You're really good at pointing the finger
|
You're a pro at placing the blame
|
You're unbelievably good, but unbelievable just the same
|
'Cause it's you that seems to be missing from every picture
|
That you frame
|
|
It was the devil, god made me do it
|
|
And if it's any one of the screws at fault
|
Well it's certainly not yourself
|
And if the question is pointed in your direction
|
You deflect it to someone else
|
It's too late, we all participate in the kill party
|
And read each other's thoughts with the R-A-D-A-R
|
And ever increasing folly
|
|
It had to be the will of god, but the devil made me do it
|
|
When it comes to the verbal stinger
|
You can surely talk a good game
|
You're really good at pointing the finger
|
You're a pro at placing the blame
|
You're unbelievably good, but unbelievable just the same
|
'Cause it's you that seems to be missing from every picture
|
That you frame
|
|
The super rich blame the poor, and the hungry blame the fat
|
The preacher blames the sinner, and the republican blames the democrat
|
The abuser blames the victim, and the society blames the music
|
|
It just had to be the will of god, but the devil made me do it [X5]
