Lyrics

Before recorded time
In some suburban room, see
The devil in his youth
He grew up pale and healthy
With the blessings of his father
The devil in his youth
His privilege came before him
The promise of adoring
The devil in his youth
But it all changed pretty with age
It was nothing like the simulated game
The women didn't love, the racists are annoying
His proclamations failed
So he screamed, "Now you bend"
The devil in his youth
I will make them feel the way I do
I corrupt them 'til they think the way I do
The devil in his youth
You will feel the way I do
You will hurt the way I do
He's easily abused
The devil in his youth
