If I Were The Devil

 If I were the devil and wanted to steal

 The soul of a country I’d make them a deal

 I’d promise them wealth beyond computation

 If they’d just give me the keys to this nation

Prosperity and wealth I’d promise to give

And I’d start with the slogan, “Just live and let live”

After all what do you care what other people do

As long as the benefits keep coming to you

Let’s see, if I were the devil, I’d call on the young

To rebel against order ‘till my trap was sprung

Then it would be too late for my plan to fail

For the message of freedom would finally prevail

In the name of freedom I’d dress women up as men

I’d tell children to transition – for this is no sin

I’d make modesty old fashioned, I’d make marriage a joke

I’d turn fathers into clowns and then through mirrors and smoke

I’d make everyone believe that it’s all for their good

To accept others as they are, and if only they would

See that gender is just a state of mind

A transitional choice for all human kind

With one stroke of my hand, I’d make it the law of the land

To prohibit kids from praying in schools

I’d make the pledge of allegiance somehow egregious

And our history the preponderance of fools

I’d leave churches in place for the faithful

But I’d render them anemic and weak

I’d threaten to remove their tax status

If somehow they would even dare speak

Of the wickedness found in the leaders

And the scandals so easy to see

I’d silence complaints and throw off all restraints

So no one would recognize me

I’d preach tolerance from platforms and pulpits

I’d make holiness a thing of the past

I’d give condoms to children in grade school

I’d make abortions a right to hold fast

If I wanted to bring down a nation

The attack would come from within

Walls will not fall nor assailants prosper at all

Till they see the fun in their sin

Yes sir, if I were the devil I do what he’s done

It’s all going just as he planned

We march on like lemmings, us blind human beings

We’re playing right into his hands
