Turn on the television

Don't gotta think for nothing

I pay the cable bill monthly so they can do it for me

Load up on information

Don't gotta filter nothing

I like my stories in propaganda-form every morning

I wash it down with water

Don't need no dirty money

Don't gotta live no scandal

Elected, law-making politicians have got it handled

They sell you corporatism

And wrap it up in freedom

I like to keep my god close but the devil closer

And he's at the door

And he's got something to prove

Because he ain't got a job to do

And it's true

That he made us believe he wasn't there

Until you

Who wrote the storybooks

Pinned all the world's destruction on the most upsetting word that you could find

Devil

Devil

I got a bad addiction

Prescribe me medication

All of the nurses and doctors say I'm exaggerating

They think I'm power-stricken

Don't know communication

They want something entertaining, don't wanna keep them waiting

Here comes the show

No more anticipation

Ain't gotta show no patience

I'm just a canvas reflecting back what your system's painting

Can't take away my pistol

Can't take my ammunition

I like to keep Jesus close but my demons closer

And they've got the floor

And they've got something to prove

Because they ain't got a job to do

And it's true

That they made us believe they weren't there

Until you

Who wrote the storybooks

Pinned all the world's destruction on the most upsetting word

They say the devil looks like you

I hear the devil's an American

They say, they say he's a real smooth talker

Real put together

And I hear he might make a run for office (Devil)

And I think you all know who's gonna support him

I just don't know if they know it yet (Devil)

'Cause I don't think they realize that they're the devil
