If I Were The Devil

One, two, three, four

If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do
Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you
I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires
And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire

Find all the wolves in the land
And I'd make them fight each other
Tooth and nail and hand to hand
Find all the sheep, make 'em stir up the pot
'Cause once the wolves have killed each other
Sheep are what I want

The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true
And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue
One thing that I know, we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground

As I place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow
Well, I'd shine in all the tears of joy, yellin' from the crowd
I'd want to brainwash some parents, and I'd have the world
I'll be in every schoolhouse lecturin' little boys and girls

The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true
And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you
But one thing that I know, we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground

Mmm
Mmm, mmm, mmm

For my final act, I'll tell you what'd it'd be
I'd have everyone so medicated, they could never see
My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised
And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise

The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true
And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you
One thing that I know, we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground

If I were the devil, this world was mine to see
Well, I'd witness all the atrocities, and it'd probably frighten me
So I'd run back home with a story to tell
I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell
