BI shot John F. F#Kennedy in Dallas in ‘E63
They Bblamed it on F#Oswald EcarelessBly
But Eit was the F#devil in Bme
BPut Jesus on the F#cross, I put a gag on the Eboss
I Bkicked him on the F#cheek so Ehe couldn’t Bspeak
But Ethat was the F#devil in Bme
BIt was the devil in F#me
F#It was the devil in Eme
It’s the Bdevil in F#me that’s unEleveling Bme
Well Eit was the F#devil in Bme
BI made you F#breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the Ebed
BI made you F#cry, coulda made you Elaugh Binstead
But Ethat was the F#devil in Bme
BSo I killed you F#off, I tore your famous brown Efur coat
I Blaughed at your F#cough, ignored your Esuicide Bnote
But Ethat was the F#devil in Bme
BIt was the devil in F#me
F#It was the devil in Eme
It’s the Bdevil in F#me that’s unEleveling Bme
Well Eit was the F#devil in Bme
I blew up the bus, I started world war iii
Hijacked the plane with Khadafi, 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, no that ain’t deceiving
No, that’s just the devil in me
It was 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 behavior
It all seems like human behavior to me
Put it down to the devil in me
It was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
Well it’s the devil in me makes me do these things
Devil in me that makes me sing
Devil in me gave you a wedding ring
Put it down to the devil in me
