lyrics

DEVIL MADE ME DO IT ©LKING 2008
WELL I BROKE THE LAW /BUT YOU’RE NEVER GONNA PROVE IT/DUNNO WHY /GUESS THE DEVIL MADE ME DO ITI HAD A REAL GOOD WOMAN /BUT SHE WENT AWAY
GUESS I’LL CALL HER UP /TALK TO HER SOME DAY/WE HAD A GOOD THING GOIN/’ BUT I GUESS I MUSTA BLEW IT /DUNNO WHY /
I GUESS THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.
POLITICIAN LIES /CHEATS AND HE STEALS
TAKES A LITTLE BIT ‘O’ MONEY /JUST TO GREASE THE WHEELS
PAPERS FIND OUT/ HE GETS CANNED
HERE HE COMES /WITH A BIBLE IN HIS HAND
SAY’S I BEEN A BAD BOY ,/BUT THE LORD GOT ME THROUGH IT/DUNNO WHY
I GUESS /THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.
WHEN YOU HAND OUT FREEDOM /AT THE POINT OF A GUN/ KILL A HUNDRED THOUSAND / SAY ‘LOOK WE WON’
SOMEBODY SAYS/ ‘WHAT WE FIGHTING FOR ?‘
SAY SHUT YOUR MOUTH /KILL A HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE
HALF A MILLION DOWN/ WE STILL AINT THROUGH IT/DUNNO WHY/
GUESS THE DEVIL MADE US DO IT
VIETNAM/AFGHANISTAN/ IRAQ AND IRAN/ AMIN SADDAM /KLU KLUX KLAN/ THEFATHERLAND/I CAN’T INDERSTAND / WELL WE DO WHAT WE CAN!
BACK IN THE CITY/THEY’RE MAKIN A NOISE
‘BOUT THE PRIEST AND THE JUDGE /AND THE ALTAR BOYS/ DON’T TURN ‘EM IN/DON’T PUT ‘EM DOWN/JUST MOVE ‘EM ON / TO ANOTHER TOWN/WHEN THE BISHOP SAYS
/OOH WE NEVER KNEW IT/I DONT BELIEVE THE DEVIL MADE ‘EM DO IT
CAN’T DRINK THE WATER /CAN’T BREATHE THE AIR/THEY PUTA BIG FAT HOLE/ IN THE SKY SOMEWHERE/ I NEVER DID IT/DON’T BLAME ME/I JUST NEED SOME GAS/ FOR MY S.U.V/ MY KID WANTS TO KNOW/ HOW COME I BLEW IT/DADDY DON’T SAY /THE DEVIL MADE YA DO IT.
VIETNAM/AFGHANISTAN/ IRAQ AND IRAN/ AMIN SADDAM /KLU KLUX KLAN/ THEFATHERLAND/
/NOW WE HITTIN ASUDAN/STEALIN’ LAND/THE WHITE MAN/ GOT BLOOD ON HIS HAND/ HE’S IN THE FRYIN’ PAN/CAN’T UNDERSTAND/SUCH A SIMPLE PLAN/ IT WAS A BIG FAT SHAM/’COS THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT/THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT/THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT.
