lyrics

If I were the Devil, if I were the Prince of Darkness
I'd want to engulf the whole earth in darkness
and I'd have a third of its real estate
and four-fifths of its population
but I wouldn't be happy until I had seized
the ripest apple on the tree, thee

So I'd set about however necessary
to take over the United States
I'd subvert the churches first
I'd begin with a campaign of whispers
with the wisdom of a serpent, I would whisper to you
as I whispered to Eve: "Do as you please"

To the young, I would whisper that the Bible is a myth
I would convince them that man created God
instead of the other way around
I would confide that what is bad is good
and what is good is “square”
and the old, I would teacht to pray after me:
“Our Father, which art in Washington”

I can hear them calling me
I can hear them calling me
I can hear them calling me
I can hear them calling me

If I were the devil, I would take from those who have
and I would give to those who wanted
until I had killed the incentive of the ambitious
I would convince the young that marriage is old-fashioned
that swinging is more fun
that what you see on TV is the way to be

And thus I could undress you in public
and I could lure you into bed
with diseases for which there is no cure

I can hear them calling me
I can hear them calling me
I can hear them calling me
I can hear them calling me
