If I were the devil, I'd find a way somehow

To make man think he created god and not the other way around

And what you see on tv seem like the gospel truth

Not make right look so wrong but make wrong look so cool

Yeah, anythin' to keep you out of heaven

If I were the devil.

If I were the devil, everyone would just say color

And not take all religions and turn them against each other

I'd sit back and I'd love it, watch you fuel the hate

Night fires on the evenin' news and let them fan my flames

Bring everybody down to my level

If I were the devil.

I would keep on doin' what I'm doin'

But what I'm doin' sure is workin' now

And if you don't believe me, I could prove it

Hey, all you need to do is look around

Hey, I'd be thinkin' things just can't get better

If I were the devil.

And I'd just keep on doin' what I'm doin'

What I'm doin' sure is workin' now

And if you don't believe me, I can prove it

Hey, all you need to do is look around

Hey, I'd be thinkin' things just can't get better

If I were the devil.

If I were the devil, when all is said and done

I'd be the coward that I am and I'd tuck my tail and run

I'd die down in my darkness I'm destined to regret

If I were the devil, hell I'd be scared to death.
