Lyrics Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music - Larry Norman

Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music

I want the People to know That He saved my soul,
But I still like to listen to the radio, They say Rock 'n Roll is wrong,
They’ll give me one more chance.
I feel so good I want to get up & dance.
I know what’s right, I know what’s wrong, I don’t confuse it.
All I’m really trying to say Is, Why should the devil have all the good
Music?
I’ve been filled, I feel okay, Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues
Away.
They say to cut my hair, they’re driving me insane.
I grew it out long to Make room for my brain.
But sometimes people don’t understand, What’s a good boy doining in a Rock n' Roll band.
There’s nothing wrong with playing the blues licks, If you’ve got a Reason, I want to hear it.
Why should the Devil Have all the Good Music?
I’ve been filled, I feel okay, Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues
Away.
I ain’t knockin' the hyms, just give me a song that has a beat,
I ain’t knockin' the hyms, just give me a song that moves my feet,
I don’t like any of them funeral marches, I ain’t dead yet.
All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say,
Why should the devil have all the good Music?
Jesus told the truth and Jesus showed the way,
There’s one more thing I’d like to say.
They Nailed Him to the cross, they laid Him in the ground,
Should of known you can’t keep Jesus Christ down.
I feel good everyday, I don’t want to lose it.
Al I wanna, I wanna, one more time now,
Why should the devil have all the Good music?
I’ve been filled, I feel okay, Jesus is the rock, He rolled my blues,
He will roll your blues, He will roll your blues away
