"What's A Devil To Do?" lyrics
"What's A Devil To Do?"
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
I was born from an angel
And she raised me properly
I knew what I wasn't to do
I knew what I wasn't to see
But when you reach a certain age
Your destiny, it comes to life
So don't you bite the hand that feeds you
Or it may cut you with its knife
It permeates all through my bones
I let it live, I help it grow
I said my cup it runneth over?
Well I'm gonna let it flow
So I shot a man in muncie, just to watch him die
My mother asked me if it pleased me
And I couldn't tell a lie
Now Jesus died for them, it's true
But what's a devil to do?
Oh when the saints go marching in
I won't be there, 'cause I love my sin
Am I so bad that you hate me
There was a time when I could see
My hopes and dreams, they are no more
I'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor
Oh man, forgive me, I turned away
I won't come back, so I have to pay
Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
And now there is rules to life, I know
And if you follow them you'll go
Up to the mountains and the clouds
And where the golden rivers flow
But I've always been so good at breaking all the rules
I wasn't made to be their robot
And I ain't nobody's fool
I am the goat that got away
But I know there will come a day
When I'll be punished for my mind
'Cause I led myself astray
I am a work of art, I know
I was created but down below
And if it's evil that you're planting
Then it's evil that will grow
Now Jesus died for them, it's true
But what's a devil to do?
Oh when the saints go marching in
I won't be there, 'cause I love my sin
Am I so bad that you hate me
There was a time when I could see
My hopes and dreams, they are no more
I'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor
Oh man, forgive me, I turned away
I won't come back, so I have to pay
Na Na Na Na Na Na
I have to pay
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na

Sorority Noise - "Blonde Hair, Black Lungs" When you told me you were leaving
Well I couldn't feel my mouth
Cause all I'll ever be is someone else
As I watched you walk away
I felt something in me change
My heart froze over
All emotion dripped...
FIDLAR - "Sober" Oh my God, are you seriously gonna do this right know?
Look, I'm trying to get better but
I can't do that when every goddamed thing is about you
And why do I have to figure out why I'm like this
And...
Amigo The Devil - "Another Man's Grave" It's a quarter to two and the bars are all closing
Nobody looks how they think
The guy in the corner with spit in his beard
Wearing more than he drank of his drink
The dancers are shaking like ants...
Neutral Milk Hotel - "Holland, 1945" Two... One, two, three, four...
The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before...
