Somebody Let The Devil Out

Early one mornin' I was lyin' in my bed

The alarm went off I just shook my head

I said, "Damn I'm late again"

I went downstairs and my wife came in

She said, "You won't believe what them bastards just did

Took the whole thing down"

I started shakin' I could hardly believe it

When I heard a man on my TV

He said, "Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

It'll take a long shoot to kick him right down to hell"

I took my kids right out of their school

There was smoke in the air and they answered it was true

That the bad men died

I said, "Yeah honey, they can't hurt you

Or me or your mama or your sister too"

And I said a little prayer as I lied

I walked up the street to the grocery store

Heard an old man singin' about the second war

He said, "Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

It'll take a long shoot to kick him back down to hell"

I saw a Hindu and a brother and a Muslim and a Jew

They were holdin' hands cryin' there was nothin' they could do

'Cause nothin' could be done

Then it all fell down like a house of cards

All the people were escaping they were runnin' from the shards

Of glass that fell down from the sky

But they ran into the trouble to see who could be saved

In the city of New York and the home of the brave

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

It'll take a long shoot to kick him back down to hell

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out

Somebody let the devil out
