What's a Devil to Do? |
I was born from an angel, she raised me properly |
I knew what I wasn’t to do, I knew what I wasn’t to see |
But when you reach a certain age, your destiny it comes to life |
So don’t you bite the hand that feeds you, or it may cut you with its knife |
It permeates all through my bones |
I let it live, I help it grow |
I said my cup it runeth over, well I’m gonna let it flow |
So I shot a man in Muncie, just to watch him die |
My mother asked me if it pleased me |
And I couldn’t tell a lie |
Now Jesus died for them, it’s true |
But what’s a devil to do? |
When the saints go marching in |
I won’t be there, 'cause I love my sin |
Am I so bad that you hate me |
There was a time when I could see |
My hopes and dreams, they are no more |
I’m not a rich man, but blessed are the poor |
Oh man, forgive me, I turned away |
I won’t come back, so I have to pay |
And now there’re rules till I find Noah, |
And if you follow them you’ll go |
Up to the mountains and the clouds |
And where the golden rivers flow |
But I’ve always been so good at breaking all the rules |
I wasn’t made to be their robot |
And I ain’t nobody’s fool |
I am the goat that got away |
But I know there will come a day |
When I’ll be punished for my mind |
'Cause I led myself astray |
I am a work of art, I know |
I was created but down below |
And if it’s evil that you’re planting |
Then it’s evil that will grow |
