Lyrics
VERSE
His hellhound growling sneer can scare angels off their cloud
His evil words reverberate with a migraine pulsing pound
Steaming fissures line his wake, his footsteps shake the ground
He's not very subtle, you'll know when he's in town
CHORUS
He could be the devil, Jack the Ripper and Jesse James
He could be the devil, atom bomb in a hurricane
He could be the king of hate, death, plague and rage
He could be the devil, you can't hide from his pain
VERSE
His twisted genius plans keep on torturing us fools
His guillotine, his burning stake, so great but they're old school
Now he's got a web presence, his tweets shame and ridicule
His apps get malicious, he uses all the tools
CHORUS
BRIDGE
He takes credit for Mister Hitler
Poverty and Apartheid
His favorite movie stars Freddy Krueger
He's chaos personified
CHORUS
CHORUS
He could be the devil, Jack the Ripper and Jesse James
He could be the devil, you can't hide from his pain
He could be the devil, you can't hide from his pain
