Marc Almond - The Devil Lyrics
One day the devil came above groundOne day the devil came above groundTo study his interestsHe saw everythingThe devil, he heard everythingAnd having seen allHaving heard allHe returned to his home belowAnd down belowThey organised a grand feastAt the end of this feastThe devil rose to deliver his speachThis is the jist of what he saidOkay!OkayThe world up there is like a seaOf raging fires that spit and roarOkayAnd man has fought like crazyWith dangerous games of warOkayTrains are derailedA crashHis boys filled with idealsPlace bombs on the tracksWell that creates original deathThat death creates without confessionConfessions without remissionOkayNothing is soldBut all is boughtHonour and sainthoodOkayAnd states change secretlyInto anonymous societiesOkay hey heyAnd the mighty extort their dollarsFrom countries that are poorAnd europe also rips the scarsWith it's post colonial gorgeThat creates death from starvationAnd starvation of nationsOkayAnd man has seen so much of itThat his eyes have become greyOkay, hey, hey, hey, hey, heyAnd no songs seem to existExcept when sung on stageOkayThey dispense with hired thugsAnd jack-ass poets get the elbowBut in the papers everywhereEvery shit has his photoThat creates evil in honest folkAnd laughter in dishonest onesOkay! okay! okay! okay!Okay! okay! okay! okay!Okay!Okay! hahaha!Okay! hahaha!Okay
