An Anomaly

It was God that made our bodies, but the devil made our brains And we revel in our autonomy as we drive ourselves insane They say God can make no error, so it must have been his plan To create a world of terror by the instruments of man In our eyes lies a secret that the father had denied Many died trying to keep it on the island of the wild And it was God (it was God) that made the devil It was God (it was God) that made the beast It was awful being awestruck, now it's strange, to say the least To see the devil (to see the devil) prepare the feast It was all when God was sleeping, as the curtain opened wide By the time they tried to seal it, creeping demons were inside There were scores of snakes and spiders, and of scorpions that sting And a horse without a rider, and I'm caught without a king He awoke on the eighth morning to a truth that was revealed That a shadow world was forming, and his hand was off the wheel And it was God (it was God) that made the devil It was God (it was God) that made him free It was lonely in my car, now it's standing room only And it's the devil (it is the devil) that we came to see But if you wanna see the devil, meet a man And if you wanna meet an angel, go to hell But if you wanna reach the promised land You're gonna have to drop your contraband But you don't wanna drop your contraband, my man Goddamn! It was God that made the devil, Satan made the Lord a fool And he did it right on schedule, on the seventh day of school It may have been God that made me, he ain't make me who I am So, when you spy the stained dark angel, see who stands at his right hand And when you glimpse the faithful servant, make it, but a passing glance Or you may become the person for whom Satan laid his plans And it was God (it was God) that made the devil It is God (it is God) that famously demands belief And if you seek the place called Heaven See a land of gnashing teeth, release the devil (release the devil) Release the devil (release the devil) Begin the siege
