lyrics

ELVIS JESUS AND THE DEVIL
ELVIS JESUS AND THE DEVIL /
SITTIN THERE SHOOTIN’ THE BREEZE

UP JUMPED OLD EINSTEIN/
SAID ‘ONE OF THEM BREWS FOR ME/’

SURE SAID ELVIS /SIT ON DOWN/
TAKE THE WEIGHT OFF/GRAB A PEW/
YOU’RE THE MAN/ WITH THE MASTER PLAN/
I GOT SOMETHIN TO ASK OF YOU.

ELVIS SAID .YOU SMART BOY/SMARTEST EVER BEEN /
I KNOW YOU SPLIT THE ATOM/ MADE UP A TIME MACHINE
SENT ROCKETS TO THE MOON /
KNEW THE SECRETS OF THESTARS/
BUT ALL THAT DID/WAS MAKE US SEE /
JUST WHAT BIG FOOLS WE ARE/
THEY SAID I WAS THE KING MAN /THEY SAID I HAD IT ALL /
HAD THE WORLD RIGHT AT MY FEET/MAN I HAD ME A BALL/
HAD CADILLACS AND MONEY/WOMEN I HAD MY FILL/
TILL I WAS LYING ON A COLD COLD FLOOR/
WITH A HANDFUL ’O’ PILLS
JESUS SAID/ I’M THE TRUTH/ DO WHAT DADDY SAID/
YOU DON’T NEED
 MONEY /JUST HAND OUT A LITTLE BREAD/
ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE / BUT THEY ALL WANTED MORE/
ALL THEY NEEDED S A LITTLE PEACE /
BUT THEY JUST COULDN'T STOP MAKIN’ WAR.

THE DEVIL SAID I HEAR YOU BOYS/
BUT YOU MUST BOTH BE DUMB/
DON’T TELL ME MAN IS INNOCENT /
HE’S NOTHIN BUT A WORTHLESS BUM/
YOU GIVE A MAN THE WORLD /HE THOROWS IT IN YOUR FACE SHOW A MAN PARADISE .HE THINKS HE OWNS THE PLACE
COMES DOWN TO ME AND HIM /HE’S THE EVIL ONE /
I KILL TO SURVIVE/HE DOES ITJUST FOR FUN/
I GAVE THE WORLD TO NERO /THOUGHT THAT HE WOULD LEARN GOT HIMSELF IN A LITTLE MESS /IT’S BURN BABY BURN/
MET JOHNSON AT THE CROSSROADS /
GAVE HIM SOMETHIN BIG/
SOLD HIS SOUL?/ HE GAVE IT AWAY/
MAN HE FLIPPED HIS WIG/
TOOK OPPENHEIMERS BABY/ GAVE IT TO THE LAND OF THE FREE/ THEY DROPPED IT DOWN /BURNED THE GROUND /
EVEN SCARED THE HELL OUTTA ME !
HOW COME HE GETS TO WALK AWAY/
HOW COME IT’S DOWN TO ME?
LOOK AT ALL THE BAD THINGS HE DOES/
HE’S OUT THERE WALKING FREE/
GIVE HIM LOVE AND FREEDOM/
HE TAKES FORTUNE AND FAME/
WHEN IT ALL COMES CRASHIN’ DOWN HIS HEAD /
IT’S ME THAT TAKES THE BLAME
ELVIS ,JESUS AND THE DEVIL
