John Wesley Harding - The Devil In Me lyrics

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 kissed him on the cheek so he couldn't speak

But that was the devil in me

It was the devil in me

It's the devil in me that's unlevelling me

Put it down to the devil in me

I made you breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the bed

I made you cry, couldda made you laugh instead

But that was the devil in me

So I killed you off, I tore your famous brown furcoat

I laughed at your cough, ignored your suicide note

But that was the devil in me.....

I blew up the bus, I started World War III

Hijacked the plane with Qadaffi, 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, 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 behaviour

It all seems like human behaviour 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
