Devil Went Down to Georgia, The
What I'm about to say's not a fable, every word I speak is true
If you can't see it now, you will before I'm through
The devil went down to Georgia to see what he might mix
Made it hard to write the wrongs the activists were out there trying to fix
The devil went down to Georgia, shot a man that made no sense
Chased him down for no reason at all, then claimed self defense
The devil went down to Georgia, had 'em celebrate the wrong thing
Spend his time spreading lies, and wouldn't even let the children sing
Chaos and disorder-cuz that's just what devils do
The devil went down to Georgia
While the devil was there in Georgia, he was burning torches at night
Giving everyone a gun, burning books and taking people's voting rights
I've been alive long enough to know the devil's work
I don't have to see him present, just look at who's left hurt
Chaos and disorder--cuz that's just what devils do
The devil went down to Georgia... The devil went down to Georgia
Creating chaos and disorder... The devil went down to Georgia
Power to the people
Georgia is God's country, such a beautiful place
But even among the peach trees, the devil finds some space
Blindfold some justice, defended racist attacks
Disregarded some votes, disregarded some facts
Doing chaos and disorder--cuz that's just what devils do
The devil went down to Georgia...
The devil went down to Georgia... Creating chaos and disorder
Cuz that's just what devils do
If you can't see it now, you will before I'm through
The devil went down to Georgia to see what he might mix
Made it hard to write the wrongs the activists were out there trying to fix
The devil went down to Georgia, shot a man that made no sense
Chased him down for no reason at all, then claimed self defense
The devil went down to Georgia, had 'em celebrate the wrong thing
Spend his time spreading lies, and wouldn't even let the children sing
Chaos and disorder-cuz that's just what devils do
The devil went down to Georgia
While the devil was there in Georgia, he was burning torches at night
Giving everyone a gun, burning books and taking people's voting rights
I've been alive long enough to know the devil's work
I don't have to see him present, just look at who's left hurt
Chaos and disorder--cuz that's just what devils do
The devil went down to Georgia... The devil went down to Georgia
Creating chaos and disorder... The devil went down to Georgia
Power to the people
Georgia is God's country, such a beautiful place
But even among the peach trees, the devil finds some space
Blindfold some justice, defended racist attacks
Disregarded some votes, disregarded some facts
Doing chaos and disorder--cuz that's just what devils do
The devil went down to Georgia...
The devil went down to Georgia... Creating chaos and disorder
Cuz that's just what devils do
