Lyrics

Devil His Due

Going so well I can't believe
Rolling downhill picking up speed
Going even better than I ever thought it could

They give me the credit, they give me the blame
For every little moth that gets caught in the flame
But I'm just the spark in a whole world of drywood

I'm handsome, I'm rich, I'm the guy with the clout
You can't live with, can't live without
Go on admit it there's times you love me too
You've got to give the devil his due

Just doing my bit for the master plan
I stir the shit and toss it into the fan
It's hard to miss in a world where bad means good

`Cause I'm so bad, I'm the goddamned best
Even Jesus Christ barely passed my test
with little more time and I'm sure he'd a been mine too
You've got to give the devil his due

I made mistakes, I fell from grace
Landed in the middle of the human race
My kind of people my kind of scene
They pray to their Gods as they worship me

Here's a little something may come as a shock
I got a power even God ain't got
A real mean streak that I ain't afraid to use

I still get stoked, I still get jazzed
I'm the undefeated golden calf
One things certain you'll be hurtin for I'm through
`Cause you've got to give the devil his due

Don't think for a second he don't know
I get a bonus when the whole thing blows

The big guy's itching to start again brand new
But first he'll give the devil his due
