lyrics

Don’t Need a Devil
Written by Andrea Menard and Robert Walsh
Copyright 1998, Andrea Menard, Robert Walsh, SOCAN


You don't need a devil to sell your soul
The soul's like an old, beat-up mutt.
Fall over and play dead, or beg for a bone
Your soul's an easy thing to lose.

Don't go down to the crossroads, to sell your soul
Walk in circles in your own backyard.
Fly as high as you like with the chain on your leg
Your soul will jump the fence on its own.

You can blame it on the devil. But it's not the devil's fault.
People put themselves through hell.
You can blame it on the devil. But he's really not to blame
People do it all by themselves


You don't need a devil to sell your soul.
Corruption is everywhere you breathe.
The air is choking with, the sweat of dog-eat-dog.
Your soul is dripping down your chin.

You can blame it on the devil. But it's not the devil's fault.
People put themselves through hell.
You can blame it on the devil. But he's really not to blame
People do it all by themselves.

You can blame it on the devil. You can blame it on the devil.
You can blame it on the devil. But he's really not to blame
People do it all by themselves.
