Story Behind The Song
Okay, it was 2002 and we were watching the Angels. Scott Spezio was the first baseman that year. It was common knowledge that Scott liked to talk to the opposing team members when they were on first base. Once someone said to him "I bet you'd talk to the Devil if he was on first base." And Scott replied "Yeah, I'd probably ask him 'Devil, why are you so mean?'"
There you have it.

Lyrics
TITLE:
Devil boy
VERSE:
Devil boy why are you so mean, you so mean
Standin' around with a chip on your shoulder
Devil boy why you so mean?
VERSE:
You blame it all on your mommy I bet, your mommy I bet
You blame it all on your daddy I bet, your daddy I bet
Walkin' around like the world owes you something
Devil boy why you so mean?
VERSE:
I don't care what you've been through
I've got no sympathy for you
You're a low-down, dirty, ornery cuss
Devil boy why you so mean?
