If I Were The Devil

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 will seem like the gospel truth
And I'd make right look so wrong, it'd make wrong look so cool

Yeah, anything to keep you out of heaven
If I were the devil

If I were the devil, everyone would just see color
And I'd take all religions, and I'd turn them against each other
I'd sit back and I'd love it, watch you fuel the hate
Light fires on the evening 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'
And what I'm doin' sure is workin' out
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' out
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

Now 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 hide out in my darkness, and destined to regret
If I were the devil, hell, I'd be scared to death
