Lyrics
The Devil You Know
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been a man of brutal means
Dealing out my business it's so obscene
I'm not crossed just recognized
As the son of a bitch that put it right between your eyes
An unexploded ordinance
Variate the deviance
A Glasgow Kiss or a Molotov
I'm about to blow it all up
Countless, broken by horror
A heroes end is still the end
My kind won't be seen again
Let the right one in
Ya gotta go with the devil you know
It's a godamm sin
Ya gotta go with the devil you know
I'm ready, ready to begin
You bastard
Let the right one in
Ya gotta go with the devil that you know
What goes around comes around
And what comes around is gonna get beat down
I don't let anything go to waste after the cold reveal of my murderface
Another right that I made wrong
Another place I don't belong
Of all the thing I said that stick
Nothing good can ever come of this
Countless broken by the horror
A heroes end is still the end
My kind won't be seen again
And if ya don't know, now you know
Let the right one in
Ya gotta go with the devil you know
It's a godamm sin
Ya gotta go with the devil you know
I'm ready, ready to begin
You bastard
Let the right one in
Ya gotta go with the devil that you know
It's just the devil in me
There's no hypocrisy
What you see is what you see
What you get is what you get
