The Devil's Right Before Our Eyes

He's got a smile like silk
He's tall and handsome and he's nice
You think he is a human
But he is more than meets the eye
He talks with such politeness
Oh, you would never know
You're speaking with the devil
He's coming for your soul
He keeps his secrets neat
You think he's there to help
A smile and a promise
He's come here straight from hell

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
He tells us it will be okay
Don't lie
Don't lie
He makes us trust the things he says
He knows we're scared
He knows we're terrified
The devil's right
The devil's right
The devil's right before our eyes

Well, the devil's on the TV
And he wears a suit and tie
You'd think he'd come with a warning
But he looks like you and I
He says the world is complicated
He says: I'll keep you free
Then jets off to his island
And sips his youthful drink
He keeps his secrets neat
You think he's there to help
A smile and a promise
He's come here straight from hell

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
He tells us it will be okay
Don't lie
Don't lie
He makes us trust the things he says
He knows we're scared
He knows we're terrified
The devil's right
The devil's right
The devil's right before our eyes

Keep us entertained to distract us all
Group us right and left just to keep control
He let's the whole world argue just to watch us burn
You would think that we'd unite
We'd think we would learn

Don't you cry
Don't you cry
He tells us it will be okay
Don't lie
Don't lie
He makes us trust the things he says
He knows we're scared
He knows we're terrified
The devil's right
The devil's right
The devil's right before our eyes
