lyrics

Going so well I can’t believe
Rolling downhill picking up speed
Going even better than I ever thought it could

Give me the credit, give me the blame
For every little moth that gets caught in the flame
But I’m just the spark in a whole world of drywood
I’m handsome, I’m rich, I’m the guy with the clout
You can’t live with, can’t live without
Go on admit it at times you love me too
You’ve got to give the devil his due

Just doing my bit for the master plan
I stir the shit and toss it into the fan
It’s hard to miss in a world where bad looks good
I’m so bad, I’m the goddamned best
Even Jesus barely passed my test
with little more time and I’m sure he’d a been mine too
You’ve got to give the devil his due

I made some mistakes, I fell from grace
Landed in the middle of the human race
My kind of people my kind of secene
They pray to their Gods but they worship me

Here’s a little something may come as a shock
I got a power even God ain’t got
A real mean streak that I’m not afraid to use
I still get stoked, I still get jazzed
I’m the undefeated golden calf
Looking for trouble with a whole lot left to prove
you’ve got to give the devil his due

Don’t think for a second that He don’t know
I get a bonus if the whole thing blows
The Big Guy’s itching to start again brand new
But first he’ll give the devil his due

He wins over audiences with an organic stage presence, a honeyed rumble of a voice and an unteachable ability to always sound genuine and in the moment
