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 I'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 evenin' 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'
But what I'm doin' sure is workin' now
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'
'Cause what I'm doin' sure is workin' now
And if you don't believe me, I can 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
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 I'm destined to regret
If I were the devil, hell I'd be scared to death
