"Devil" lyrics

Devil
Devil

Turn on the television
Don't gotta think for nothing
I pay the cable bill monthly so they can do it for me
Load up on information
Don't gotta filter nothing
I like my stories in propaganda-form every morning
I wash it down with water

Don't need no dirty money
Don't gotta live no scandal
Elected, law-making politicians have got it handled
They sell you corporatism
And wrap it up in freedom
I like to keep my god close but the devil closer
And he's at the door

And he's got something to prove
Because he ain't got a job to do
And it's true
That he made us believe he wasn't there
Until you
Who wrote the storybooks
Pinned all the world's destruction on the most upsetting word that you could find

Devil
Devil

I got a bad addiction
Prescribe me medication
All of the nurses and doctors say I'm exaggerating
They think I'm power-stricken
Don't know communication
They want something entertaining, don't wanna keep them waiting
Here comes the show

No more anticipation
Ain't gotta show no patience
I'm just a canvas reflecting back what your system's painting
Can't take away my pistol
Can't take my ammunition
I like to keep Jesus close but my demons closer
And they've got the floor

And they've got something to prove
Because they ain't got a job to do
And it's true
That they made us believe they weren't there
Until you
Who wrote the storybooks
Pinned all the world's destruction on the most upsetting word

They say the devil looks like you
I hear the devil's an American
They say, they say he's a real smooth talker
Real put together
And I hear he might make a run for office (Devil)
And I think you all know who's gonna support him
I just don't know if they know it yet (Devil)
'Cause I don't think they realize that they're the devil
