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
It's the devil in me that's unrevealing me
Put it down to the devil in me
I made you breakfast
Put poisoned sheets on the bed
I made you cry
Could have made you laugh instead
But that was the devil in me
So I killed you off
I tore your famous brown raincoat
I laughed at your cough
Ignored your suicide note
But that was the devil in me
It was the devil in me
It's the devil in me
It's the devil in me that's unrevealing me
Put it down to the devil in me
I blew up the bus
I started World War III
Hijacked the plane with Kaddafi
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
It's the devil in me
It's the devil in me that's unrevealing me
Put it down to 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 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's the devil in me
Well it's the devil in me that makes me do these things
The devil in me that makes me sing
The devil in me gave you a wedding ring
Put it down to the devil in me
