D-DU-UDU
I  shot John F. Kennedy  in Dallas in ‘63
 They blamed  it on Oswald carelessly
 But it  was the devil  in me
Put  Jesus on the cross,  I put a gag on the boss
 I kicked  him on the cheek  so he  couldn’t speak
 But that  was the devil  in me
It  was the devil in me
It  was the devil in me
 It’s the devil  in me  that’s unleveling me
 Well it  was the devil  in me
I  made you breakfast,  put poisoned sheets on the bed
I  made you cry,  coulda made you laugh instead
 But that  was the devil  in me
So  I killed you off,  I tore your famous brown fur  coat
 I laughed  at your cough,  ignored your suicide note
 But that  was the devil  in me
It  was the devil in me
It  was the devil in me
 It’s the devil  in me  that’s unleveling me
 Well it  was the devil  in me
 I blew up the bus, I started world war iii
 Hijacked the plane with Khadafi, blew the hostages free
 That was the devil in me
 I’m sponsored by a company that I don’t believe in
 I advertise their things for cash, no that ain’t deceiving
 No, that’s just the devil in me
 It was the devil in me....
 I gave you acid rain
 I polluted the sea
 I covered your thoughts up
 With graffiti
 You can call me by my real name
 Or you can call me humanity
 Because it all seems just like human behavior
 It all seems like human behavior to me
 Put it down to the devil in me
 It was the devil in me
 It was the devil in me
 Well it’s the devil in me makes me do these things
 Devil in me that makes me sing
 Devil in me gave you a wedding ring
 Put it down to the devil in me
