The Devil Must Be Laughing Lyrics - John Mayall

I had a nightmare dream, 

Scary and oh so long. 

Blood and murder 

And the whole damn world 

Went wrong. 

Then I woke up 

And read the papers 

And the Devil 

Sang his song. 

So many dying 

For there ain't no middle ground. 

Those fanatics 

Are killing innocents. 

All around. 

There's just too many 

To count the bodies 

And so many 

Can't be found. 

It's a deadlock 

And the victims multiply. 

No solutions; 

No sense or reasons why. 

And all the children 

They're taught in new ways 

That could make 

Our mothers cry. 

That old Devil is laughing, 

With a big smile on this face. 

We're losing battles 

In endless wars 

That have no place. 

Intolerance and 

Mass murder: 

So God help 

The human race!
