lyrics

Well I dreamed that I saw Jesus on the wrong side of the tracks
He said “I’ve been gone for too long now, It’s time for my big comeback”
He was holding hands with the Devil, who’d already sold him his soul
and they danced with fools and followers, while the world spun out of control

Well The Devil walked beside me and he pointed out the road
he said “there’s no way back for you boy, cos the future’s been foretold”
as the storm blew in between us, this was no time to disagree
the world was tumbling into hell before Jesus the Devil and Me

Believers prayed and politicians played t
hey knew someone else would always pay
they made it clear, they would shed no tears for Jesus the Devil and Me

Then Jesus said “you better get with the plan, there’s nowhere left to hide
Truth and logic mean nothing but there’s something I need to confide”
he showed me a man with a gun in his hand screaming out ’I kill to be free’
I swear that evil, twisted soul looked like Jesus the Devil and Me

When believers pray and politicians play someone else will always pay
So, shake off your fears, don’t shed a tear for Jesus the Devil and Me

A politician knocked upon my door, he said ’Boy, I’ve got a beautiful plan’
I said ‘leave me alone, I’m not buying today’ he said ‘Let me help you understand’
‘With my silver tongue and a Bible in my hand ‘you know you can trust in me’
Then he told me who would be sacrificed for Jesus, The Devil and me

When the believers pray and politicians play
someone else will always pay
shake off your fears, don’t shed a tear for Jesus the Devil and Me
Jesus the Devil and Me
For Jesus, the Devil or Me
