the devil

Hand on The Bible lies
Maggots turn to flies
The whole world's gone to hell
Momma's back in jail
Just can't get enough
Think we've had too much
Gunfire in the schools
Melt down the golden rule
Wear your promise ring
The preacher's got a thing for me
Keep it to yourself
The whole world's gone to hell

A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin
To make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
The louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
There's the one you know and there's the one you don't
But they're still both the devil

Work hard for the man
Spare the rod hell, use your hands
The hate will break you down
You're the toughest guy in town
Oh say can you see
The nearest pharmacy
A needle to the vein
Might be the thing that'll kill the pain
Go trade away your soul
You swear the world will never know
That you were even here
How he whispers in your ear

A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin
To make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
The louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
There's the one you know and there's the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
As I lay me down
Go on, get behind thee now

A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin
To make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
The louder one above the rest will call himself the rebel
There's the one you know and there's the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
