I never had time for preachers Until I knew I was one Sell-righteous soul saviours Nor lifes hard knock teachers I've been on the stage Breathing fire and brimstone from the pulpit Too late to grow old or to retire Too cast in stone to change my ways You let the devil In your heart I'll be the devil Let me in So when did it come all down to this We place our faith in another man's hands Was I ever a man of words or deeds Or a charlatan from a foreign land You get down on your knees And pray to the devil in your heart I'll be the devil In your hearts I never had time for preachers Until I knew I was one For self-righteous soul saviours Nor lifes turn the other cheek teachers We'll be the devils In your hearts And i'll be die devil In your hearts
