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
