lyrics

If they want to see the devil
Let them see the devil
I’ll be your mirror or your
movie screen
If you want someone to blame
I am surely game
because the devil isn’t
the worst you’ve seen

If you want sympathy
travel back in time
before you could break the bank on
someone else’s dime
If you want peace of mind
try letting go
before some naysayer says they
told you so

Let them see the devil’s eyes
Let them see the devil’s horns
Let the devil make them smile
Let the devil keep them warm

If you want bad news
you know I can deliver
straight to the mouths of babes from
the jaws of hell
Making victims out of
the selfish ones
who’ll claim their only crime is
living well

Let them taste the devil’s kiss
Let them hear the devil’s laugh
Let them speak the devil’s name
Get the devil’s autograph
Let them have a guided tour
of the devil’s universe
let their expectations go
from bad to worse

If they want to see the devil
Let them see the devil
I’ll be your mirror or your
movie screen
If you want someone to blame
I am surely game
because the devil isn’t
the worst you’ve seen
