The Devil is real, and he's a Capitalist

lyrics

I’ve never been a religious man
But I’ve seen the Devil now and again
He ain’t a monster like on the big screen
He’s a lot less red and a lot more mean
The Devil is a man in sharp, black suit
With slicked-backed hair and
polished boots
A crisp white shirt and a blood-red tie
And a smile that says
“I don’t care if you die”
That mean Ol Devil is a businessman
And there ain’t no business better than
The morally bankrupt Pyramid scheme
He marketed to us as
“The American Dream”
The Devil ain’t red, he’s sickly green
And he’s the cruelest, hollow bastard that you’ve ever seen
You might get rich while under his spell
But He will come collecting when he sees you in Hell.
You may get rich while under his spell
But that son of a bit h will come collecting in Hell
He whispers vile, malignant spew
In the open ears of the wealthy few
His hollow voice is pained and gruff,
He says “the have-nots have enough!”
He buys them off with fantasies
Of fancy cars and shopping sprees
“I’ll give you power, influence
If you join in my experiments”
When his slick possession’s done
He sends his spawn to Washington
They vote against the people’s rights
They shut off water, turn out lights
They ensure the poor stay poor
Cause that’s what the Devil pays them for
The Devil ain’t red, he’s sickly green
And he’s the cruelest, hollow bastard that you’ve ever seen
You may get rich while under his spell
But He will come collecting when he sees you in Hell
Anyone can get sucked in
From Laborers to Wall street men,
But when his greedy game begins
Only the Devil truly wins
The nation’s backbone slowly breaks
As he takes and takes and takes and takes
But no matter how many millions he makes
His cold hard grip is hard to shake
We’re just rats caught in is trap
Patiently waiting for the jaws to snap
Gnashing our teeth against the cage
Our screams as useless as our rage
There ain’t no savior gonna save our souls
When the Devil comes to collect His toll
The only escape from this Capitalist Hell
Is breaking the bonds
of his soul-sucking spell
The Devil ain’t red, he’s sickly green
And he’s the cruelest, hollow bastard that you’ve ever seen
You might get rich while under his spell
But He will come collecting when he sees you in Hell.
The Devil ain’t red, he’s sickly green
And he’s the cruelest, hollow bastard that you’ve ever seen
You may get rich while under his spell
But that son of a bitch will come collecting in Hell.
