The Devil Didn’t Make Me Do It (But He Sure Taught Me How)

Well your friends they got your back
But don't you ever turn your back on me
'cause I'll take you even quicker than a man
who is drinking liquor like it came for free
Tell me all about your fears
Tell me all about your dark disease
I will smile and make it better then
I'll torture you forever in eternity

Maybe you consider this but maybe you don't
You believe I'm gonna help you but believe me I won't.
I can plainly see it's difficult for you to understand but
when it comes down to the bones you need to know who I am and ...

There is an evil in me baby
There is an evil in my soul
There is an evil in my spirit and I know that now
devil didn't make me do it but he sure taught me how.

Maybe you're looking for forgiveness
Well don't you ever ask for that from me
'cause your guilt it tastes like honey
and it's worth more than any kind of currency

You think I wont deceive you but God knows I can.
You think someday you'll make me want to be a better man
But I'll take away the promises that you'll allow
Cause some people are just forsaken and you know now.

Well that serpent came and bit when I was just
a little boy and he showed how to play his game
Well I told it to old Lucy when I met him at the crossroads
And I'm certain that he guessed my name

There's an evil in me baby
There's an evil in my soul
There's an evil in me baby
Something bitter, dark and cold
There's an evil in me baby that I can't explain,
helps understand the pleasure you confuse for pain.
There's an evil in my spirit and I know that now the
Devil didn't make me do it but he sure taught me how.
