Let's Hear It For the Devil
Let’s hear it for the Devil
And The Sinister Henchmen Band
C’mon…..ladies and gentlemen
Let’s give’’em a hand
Just back from a world tour
146 cities in 24 hours
Consecutive sell outs
Rooms without showers.
C’mon, we know
you love to hate him
to denigrate and bait him
yet your choices, oh so sad
only serve to sate him.
He’s the echo of the preachers
Spittle spewing crooked speeches
He’s that subtle twisted lie
Of a truth we can’t deny
That haunts us ‘til we die
So let’s hear it for the EVIL one
Who’s twisted how we LIVE
And hope that “something” in us
Will somehow, someday, FORGIVE.
