If I Were The Devil (clay / phillips) If I were the devil there'd be some changes 'round here I'd start gettin' everyone in line I'd find me a sucker at the end of his rope and I'd crawl inside his mind I'd whisper in his ear I can make you a king here's your fortune just remember my name and I'd move on to the next one If I were the devil. If I were the devil you'd see the walls comin' down all around the children where they learn I'd teach'em how to play with matches take a step back and watch as the playgrounds around 'em all burned then I'd reward them for a job well done by handin' them the keys to the kingdom but then I'd change all the locks when they're not lookin' If I were the devil and sooner or later I'd pass by a mirror and see what I'd become and I'd say "Father what is this that I've done?" If I were the devil I'd fall down on my knees and raise my hands up to the sky I'd scream "Father I'll do anything if you'd give me one more try." then he'd open up his arms and welcome me to freedom 'Cause I know he'd still love me even If I were the devil. copyright 2011 written by Randall Clay & Johnny Phillips
