to beat the devil - t bone burnett lyrics
i’ll tell you what you want to hear
then i’ll do what i want to do
i’ll tell you what you want to hear
then i’ll do what i want to do
i’ll play upon your darkest fear
i’ll be a savant for you
i’ll play upon your darkest fear
i’ll be a confidant for you
then i’ll take what i want from you
i’ll tell you what i want from you
to beat the devil, you must be a shadow
you must go deep while he stays shallow
to beat the devil, you must be wise
there is nothing he can’t trivialize
you must be able to see through a guise
and all the trouble he will devise
to beat the devil, you must be innocent
and vigilant not to become an instrument
and to not be taken in by a pseudo event
and to not be part of the dissonance
i’ll make you think you are the rule
then i’ll do what i want to do
i’ll make you look like a total fool
and i’ll do what i want to do
when you need kindness, i’ll be cruel
and when you have become my twist
when i have you in my fist
i’ll make you think i don’t exist
and i’ll take what i want from you
i’ll take what i want from you
(go…)
he will freeze you in a time that’s passed
entertain you till your eyes are glassed
then he’ll morph you into a telecast
but nothing that he does will last
nothing that he does will last
nothing that he does will last
he’ll make you believe that he’s your hero
he’ll lie and lie and lie and lie
as he resurrects the emperor nero
you’ll cry and cry and cry and cry
and he’ll lie and lie and lie and lie
and lie and lie and lie and lie
to beat the devil, you must be a shadow
you must go deep as he stays shallow
to beat the devil, you must be wise
there is nothing he can’t trivialize
you must be able to see through a guise
and all the trouble he will devise
to beat the devil, you must be innocent
and vigilant not to become an instrument
and to not be taken in by a pseudo event
and to not be part of the dissonance
(go…)
nothing that he does will last
nothing that he does will last
nothing that he does will last
(now…)
(he’ll lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie and lie…)
