The Devil Wears A Halo
THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO Hollow Saint [Intro] [Verse 1] Sunday morning, front row seat Everybody standing when you speak Got a Bible in your right hand And somebody's money in the other hand You preach forgiveness, you collect the debt Keep a little list of who ain't paid you yet Tell a broken man he's living in sin Then charge him for the right to come back in [Pre-Chorus] You quote the scripture You twist the meaning Tell them what they want to hear While you take what they're needing [Chorus] THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO And everybody calls him blessed Got them begging for forgiveness While you're taking what's left THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO But there's something underneath You can fool a thousand people You ain't fooling me [Verse 2] You tell a mother God will provide While you're counting what she gives you on the side Got a brand new car and a custom suit While she's choosing between the rent and food You condemn the things you do yourself Got a different set of rules for everybody else Point your finger, call somebody unclean Then go home and do the very same thing [Pre-Chorus] You quote the scripture You twist the meaning Tell them what they want to hear While you take what they're needing [Chorus] THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO And everybody calls him blessed Got them begging for forgiveness While you're taking what's left THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO But there's something underneath You can fool a thousand people You ain't fooling me [Bridge] You don't own the truth You don't speak for God You don't get to ruin lives Then call it doing His job You can keep your gold You can keep your name But the people that you used Ain't forgetting what you did [Final Chorus] THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO And everybody calls him blessed Got them begging for forgiveness While you're taking what's left THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO But there's something underneath You can fool a thousand people You ain't fooling me THE DEVIL WEARS A HALO But I know what you are You can hide behind that Bible You can't hide behind it forever [Outro] Take that halo off We both know it doesn't fit
