John Wesley Harding - It Happened One Night

Headful Of Something/The Devil in Me

We can wear the social fabric
Put on the make-up of society
We can champion the underdog
Be proud that we're not another cog

In the Blue Machinery
In the Blue Machinery

We all wanna do those things
But what's the point in a headful of something
What's the point in a headful of something
What's the point in a headful of something

If you've got a heartful of nothing
If you've got a heartful of nothing

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
It's the devil in me that's unleveling me
Put it down to the devil in me

I made you breakfast
Put poisoned sheets on the bed
I made you cry
Could have made you laugh instead
But that was the devil in me
So I killed you off
I tore your famous brown raincoat
I laughed at your cough
Ignored your suicide note
But that was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
It's the devil in me
It's the devil in me that's unleveling me
Put it down to 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
It's the devil in me
It's the devil in me that's unleveling me
Put it down to 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 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's the devil in me
Well it's the devil in me that makes me do these things
The devil in me that makes me sing
The devil in me gave you a wedding ring
Put it down to the devil in me
