Devil By A Different Name
Call me whiskey
Call me wine
Call me cocaine
Or codine
Call me power
Call me fame
I'm just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
Call me left wing
Call me right
We are split right down the middle in this fight
Divided we fall
That rule don't change
It's just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
This wicked world is dancin' with the devil
In a wild and crazy hurdy-gurdy dance
Caught up in the frenzy and the revel
There's a dreadful price we'll pay for this romance
Call me Imam
Call me priest
We are brothers separated by belief
A loveless faith is a ball and chain
It's just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
Call me brown-skinned
Call me white
It's not the color of our skin that makes us right
When somebody tells you we're not the same
That's just the devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
There's a still small voice that whispers deep inside us
Listen close and you might hear it say
There's a light still out here, shining in the darkness
It'll be here if you find you've lost your way
Call me gay, boys
Call me straight
Must we stare across this chasm filled with hate
If they say we're wrong
We should be ashamed
That's just the devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
This wicked world is dancin' with the devil
In a wild and crazy hurdy-gurdy dance
Caught up in the frenzy and the revel
There's a dreadful price we'll pay for this romance
I am a woman
I am strong
But I've been told that I am less-than for so long
Eve ate an apple
They say we're to blame
That's just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name boys
The devil by a different
The devil by a different
The devil by a different name
Call me wine
Call me cocaine
Or codine
Call me power
Call me fame
I'm just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
Call me left wing
Call me right
We are split right down the middle in this fight
Divided we fall
That rule don't change
It's just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
This wicked world is dancin' with the devil
In a wild and crazy hurdy-gurdy dance
Caught up in the frenzy and the revel
There's a dreadful price we'll pay for this romance
Call me Imam
Call me priest
We are brothers separated by belief
A loveless faith is a ball and chain
It's just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
Call me brown-skinned
Call me white
It's not the color of our skin that makes us right
When somebody tells you we're not the same
That's just the devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
There's a still small voice that whispers deep inside us
Listen close and you might hear it say
There's a light still out here, shining in the darkness
It'll be here if you find you've lost your way
Call me gay, boys

That's just the devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name
This wicked world is dancin' with the devil
In a wild and crazy hurdy-gurdy dance
Caught up in the frenzy and the revel
There's a dreadful price we'll pay for this romance
I am a woman
I am strong
But I've been told that I am less-than for so long
Eve ate an apple
They say we're to blame
That's just a devil by a different name, boys
The devil by a different name boys
The devil by a different
The devil by a different
The devil by a different name
