Jesus and the Devil spent forty days
Trying to figure out how they got this way
Talkin' about how you fall from grace
In the first place
Devil said "I didn't ask for this
Yeah, I'm not some kind of masochist
Nobody plans to be an anarchist
Oh, and if I could change
"I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
There was a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
Lucky you, you got the halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have been the Devil
"Give me what you got and please don't run
I really don't want to hurt no one
Just put in the bag and drop the gun,Nice and slow
The clerk said "Take anything you need
Just give me one thing before you leave
Tell me how a man becomes a thief
I gotta know
He said "I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But I had a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
Lucky you, you got the halo
You know I could have been the angel
You could have the Devil
"Oh, could have been an angel
You know you could have been the Devil
You should have been the Devil
"Cause I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
I had a ghost in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
Lucky you, you get a halo
You know, I could have been the angel
You could have been the Devil
"Oh, you know I could have been an angel
You could have been the Devil
