Lyrics

I'm not gonna tell you You're making a mistake Tell you not to go No I won't I'll only say What I've learned along my way The devil you know Beats the devil you don't We don't work In the best of situations We don't live very well Don't reside in the neighborhood of heaven We live somewhere closer to hell Now we have learned To work around the situation Learned to hide Till the heat has passed You will learn a promise of salvation Can mask another inferno's blast The devil you know Beats the devil you don't That promised land Could turn out to be dry Once you're gone You might ask yourselves why Maybe you will Or maybe you won't But the devil you know Beats the devil you don't (No!) You don't know The world beyond the sideshow You don't know What Satan can plan You don't know The safety you'd be leaving We're your family We're your clan Here we've got Each other to depend on Here you've got The best home you'll ever find Other folk Don't know how to take us The world out there can be so unkind The devil you know (Devil you know) (Devil you know) Beats the devil you don't (Beats the devil, the devil you don't) His game of chance (Don't take that chance) Just might be a scam (It's just a scam) You can't play Then decide you should scram Maybe you'll win Or maybe you won't But the devil you know (Devil you know) Beats the devil you don't How can you Say that man's a devil? How can you Say he's wicked and bad? How can you Criticize an angel Promising more heaven Than they've ever had I'm a fortune teller I can see the future I can look at people See what's lying ahead Violet and Daisy I see you're bound for glory That man who was here Will do all that he said That man's not a devil No - I know that he's not I've seen the devil Woah, you girls can get Much more than you've got Much more much more Than you've got What if he's a devil? What if he's not? He could be an angel That heaven forgot I think you may be jealous Jealous of what? That Violet and Daisy Might give him a shot The devil you know (He's not a devil) Beats the devil you don't I won't believe it Believe it I won't That promised land (Is at hand) Could turn out to be dry (You should give it a try) So dry Once you're gone You might ask yourselves why Maybe you will or maybe you won't But the devil you know (No, no, he's not a devil) But the devil you know (No, no, he's not a devil) But the devil you know (No, no, he's not a devil) Alright Now we can argue all night Because we care about you two Maybe you will go Or maybe you won't But I hope you will remember That that mean old Money-grubbin' Gin-guzzlin' Name-callin' Devil you know Might be better than That smooth talkin' Fine-lookin' Dream-spinnin' Promise makin' Devil you don't No, no, no Don't call him a devil (Beats the devil you don't) No, no, no Don't call him a devil (Beats the devil you don't) No, no, no Don't call him a devil (Beats the devil you don't) Don't
