john wesley harding - headful of something/the devil in me lyrics

[spoken]
ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome the fantastic john wesley harding!

[part i: headful of something]

[verse]
we can wear this social fabric
put on the makeup of society
we can champion the underdog
be proud that we’re not another cog
in the blue machinery
in the blue machinery
we all wanna do those things
but what’s the point in a headful of something
what’s the point in a headful of something
what’s the point in a headful of something
if you’ve got a heartful of nothing?
if you’ve got a heartful of nothing?

[part ii: the devil in me]

[chorus]
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me that’s unleveling me
well it was the devil in me
[verse 1]
i shot john f. kennedy in dallas in ’63
they blamed it on oswald carelessly
but it was the devil in me
i put jesus on a cross, i put a gag on the boss
i kissed him on the cheek so he couldn’t speak
but it was the devil in me

[chorus]
yeah, it was the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me that’s unleveling me
well it was the devil in me

[verse 2]
well i made you breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the bed
i made you cry, coulda made you laugh instead
but it was the devil in me
i k!lled you off, i tore your famous brown fur coat
i laughed at the cough, ignored your suicide note
but it was the devil in me + one time

[chorus]
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me that’s unleveling me
well it was the devil in me
[verse 3]
i blew up the bus, i started world war iii
hijacked a plane with gaddafi, blew the hostages free, yeah
it was the devil in me
i’m sponsored by a company you know that i don’t believe in
i advertise things for cash, it ain’t deceiving
no, it’s just the devil in me + one time

[chorus]
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me that’s unleveling me
well it was the devil in me

[verse 4]
i spread the black death, i lied about who i was
i held my breath for ten minutes only because
because of the devil in me

[verse 5]
well i gave you acid rain
and i polluted the sea
you can call me by my real name
or you can call me humanity
’cause i’ve covered your walls up with graffiti
it all seems just like human behaviour
it all seems just like human behaviour to me
put it down to the devil in me
[chorus]
yeah, well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me
well it’s the devil in me makes me do these things
it’s the devil in me that makes me sing
it’s the devil in me gave you a wedding ring
well it was the devil in me
