We Blame the Devil

"What did I do wrong," Adam said to God

The woman made me do it, it was all her fault

You said, "It's the serpent"

He said, "I am sure"

I know You told me not to

But he said it was good

She blamed the Devil

For everything

But he didn't make her eat it

No, don't you believe it

She made the choice to disobey

She tried to lay her sin off on him

Hide or get behind his name

She blamed the Devil

For everything

Well, the banker told the farmer

He said, "Mr. Steel

I heard they take your farm, but you made the deal"

So the farmer shot the banker

Killed him dead

"They devil made me do it," that's a-what he said

He blamed the Devil

For everything

But he didn't pull the trigger

Make up lyin' figures

That led a man to his grave

He tried to lay his sin off on him

Hide his guilt behind his name

He blamed the Devil

For everything

We're just a-lookin' for a scapegoat

That we can use, there's just right or wrong

We're free to choose, in a moment of weakness

We're all deceived, well, I know that's right

But I do believe

We blame the Devil

(For everything) For everything

But we all know he's a liar (He's a liar)

Who has just one desire

And that's to steal our soul away

We try to lay our sins off on him

Hide our guilt behind his name

(Behind his name) We blame the Devil

For everything

Ooh, ooh, we blame the Devil

We blame the Devil

For everything

(Ooh, everything)

(We blame the Devil for everything)
