There's A Devil On The LooseIt's a sign of the timesYou can feel it in the air You can see it on the faces Of people everywhere You can hear it on the streets You can see it on the news Lord, I do believe There's a devil on the loose Boys are running with the guns Girls having babies too young Father leave before they're born Leaving the girl to mourn Mothers praying, worried, crying That their baby's out there dying Lord, there's a devil on the loose And you know he's lying Yes there's a devil on the loose There's a devil going wild There's a devil on the loose For every woman and child There's a devil on the prowl He's long overdue And he's working hard for the souls of people Like me and you He's turning mothers against daughters Fathers again sons Nation against nation Thrive on the evil that's done He's a desperate devil 'Cause the Lord's coming back someday He's got to get his people to deal He's got to get his people to lie He's got to get his people to kill He's got to keep his people high He's got to get his people together He's gonna talk 'em into suicide Any way he get the people dyin' He's going to devour them like a lion It's a sign of the times You can feel it in the air You can see it on the faces Of people everywhere You can see 'em on the streets You can hear it on the news Lord, I do believe there's a devil on the loose Lord, I do believe there's a devil on the loose Lord, I do believe there's a devil on the loose |
