One, two, three, four If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire Find all the wolves in the land And I'd make them fight each other Tooth and nail and hand to hand Find all the sheep, make 'em stir up the pot 'Cause once the wolves have killed each other Sheep are what I want The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground As I place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow Well, I'd shine in all the tears of joy, yellin' from the crowd I'd want to brainwash some parents, and I'd have the world I'll be in every schoolhouse lecturin' little boys and girls The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you But one thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground Mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm For my final act, I'll tell you what'd it'd be I'd have everyone so medicated, they could never see My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground If I were the devil, this world was mine to see Well, I'd witness all the atrocities, and it'd probably frighten me So I'd run back home with a story to tell I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell
