Headful Of Something/The Devil In Me

Lyrics

[Spoken] Ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome The fantastic John Wesley Harding! [Part I: Headful of Something] [Verse] We can wear this social fabric Put on the makeup of society We can champion the underdog Be proud that we're not another cog In the blue machinery In the blue machinery We all wanna do those things But what's the point in a headful of something What's the point in a headful of something What's the point in a headful of something If you've got a heartful of nothing? If you've got a heartful of nothing? [Part II: The Devil in Me] [Chorus] Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me that's unlevelling me Well, it was the devil in me [Verse 1] I shot John F. Kennedy in Dallas in '63 They blamed it on Oswald carelessly But it was the devil in me I put Jesus on a cross, I put a gag on the boss I kissed him on the cheek so he couldn't speak But it was the devil in me [Chorus] Yeah, it was the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me that's unlevelling me Well, it was the devil in me [Verse 2] Well, I made you breakfast, put poisoned sheets on the bed I made you cry, coulda made you laugh instead But it was the devil in me I killed you off, I tore your famous brown fur coat I laughed at the cough, ignored your suicide note But it was the devil in me—one time [Chorus] Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me that's unlevelling me Well, it was the devil in me [Verse 3] I blew up the bus, I started World War III Hijacked a plane with Qaddafi, blew the hostages free, yeah It was the devil in me I'm sponsored by a company you know that I don't believe in I advertise things for cash, it ain't deceiving No, it's just the devil in me—one time [Chorus] Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me that's unleveling me Well, it was the devil in me [Verse 4] I spread the Black Death, I lied about who I was I held my breath for ten minutes only because Because of the devil in me [Verse 5] Well, I gave you acid rain And I polluted the sea You can call me by my real name Or you can call me humanity 'Cause I've covered your walls up with graffiti It all seems just like human behaviour It all seems just like human behaviour to me Put it down to the devil in me [Chorus] Yeah, well it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me Well, it's the devil in me makes me do these things It's the devil in me that makes me sing It's the devil in me gave you a wedding ring Well, it was the devil in me
