Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jesus and the Devil spent forty days
Trying to figure out how they got this way
Talking about how you fall from grace
In the first place
[Verse 2]
Devil said, "I didn't ask for this
Yeah, I'm not some kind of masochist
Nobody plans to be an anarchist
Oh, if I could change"
[Verse 3]
"I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But there was a ghost in my machine
He got hungry, and I got mean
And lucky you, you got the halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have been the Devil"
[Verse 4]
"Give me what you got and please don't run
I really don't want to hurt no one
Just put it in the bag and drop the gun
Nice and slow"
[Verse 5]
The clerk said, "Take anything you need
Just give me one thing before you leave
Tell me how a man becomes a thief
I gotta know"
[Verse 6]
He said, "I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But I had a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
And lucky you, you got a halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have been the Devil"
[Verse 7]
"Oh, could have been an angel
You know you could have been the Devil
You know you should have been the Devil"
[Verse 8]
"'Cause I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But I had a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
And lucky you, you get a halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have been the Devil"
[Verse 9]
"Oh, you know I could have been the angel, oh-whoa
I bet you could have been the Devil, oh"
