In The Words (of Satan)
by The Arrows

Album: the Arrows

I've been here since the beginning
Know exactly how you work
I know all of your cravings
Know what makes you go berserk
Been lying from the start
just to make you play a part
in my infinite rebellion against the Father God

Hate everything He is
And I make you hate Him too
Make you hate Him with your actions
it's so easy for me to do
'Cause you like it
Sin feels good for the ego
You love it
Oh, come on baby let your hair go

And all the time I'm winding you up
Like my perfect little puppet,
you're my favorite robot,
welcome to the show but I'm watching you
and all of hell is with me too
helping me make my lies look true

Oh and there is a lie that works for everyone, everyone
A lie that opens your hearts so I can get me some more of your free will
I'm winding you, winding you
Give me the control that's why I'm telling you
Selling you
Anything
Everything
Appealing to your human way of being
and I use it all against you
just to keep your eyes from seeing
past the life you're living,
past the moment you're in,
past the pleasure of your sin

Or the cigarette you're smoking
Choking on your lust
I'll make you drunk with pride
So deeply spun into my system
that you won't see the light
Never mind that I'm drowning you
I keep deceiving you

'Cause I don't tell you
About the God in heaven
Who loves you
Who yearns for you, no
I don't tell you
About the freedom of forgiveness and truth
Why would I tell you?
Why would I tell you, the truth?

But I'll say that millions of years ago
an accident exploded
And you're the result of this cosmic unknown with
no real purpose
Created for no real intent
The reason for your living is just coincidence
So all that remains is what you can gain
Whatever meaning you attach to your days
you decide
Mmm, but I help you recognize
the important things in life

Introducing money
it's the root of all evil they say so
I attach your self worth to the salary you're paid
Be a slave to your property
Your jewelry
Your cars and things
Advertise that lie up on the TV
so you want that bling
Selling bit by bit the little pieces of your soul
Climbing up the ladder of economic control
Oh, the greed of man makes it so easy
to pervert the Father's plan

Or I'll tell you
There is a heaven but there's many ways to get in
Keep you so confused
that you stay bound to your sin
Tell you there are many ways to the same God
Keep you distracted with your methods
so your heart stays hard
I'll make you think you've got spirituality,
but it's really just emotional alchemy
Oh, the vanity of self-idolatry
I never let you see that it breeds
Hedonism! Whoo!
And it's the anthem of this generation
Come on, drink it, snort it, smoke it, swallow it
Chew on my illusion of freedom 'til you vomit it

And still I don't tell you
About the God in heaven
Who loves you
Who yearns for you
No I don't tell you
About the freedom of forgiveness and truth
Why would I tell you?
Why would I tell you the truth?
