The Devil In Me Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

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
