Side Show movie - Devil You Know, The lyrics
rate me<br>
Jake:<br>
I'm not gonna tell you<br>
You're making a mistake<br>
Tell you not to go<br>
No I won't<br>
I'll only say<br>
What I've learned along my way<br>
The devil you know<br>
Beats the devil you don't<br>
We don't work<br>
In the best of situations<br>
We don't live very well<br>
We don't live in the neighborhood of heaven<br>
We live somewhere closer to hell<br>
Now we have learned<br>
To work around the situation<br>
Learned to hide<br>
Till the heat has passed<br>
You will learn a promise of salvation<br>
Can mask another inferno's blast<br>
The devil you know<br>
Beats the devil you don't<br>
That promised land<br>
Could turn out to be dry<br>
Once you're gone<br>
You might ask yourselves why<br>
Maybe you will<br>
Or maybe you won't<br>
But the devil you know<br>
Beats the devil you don't<br>
Oh yeah<br>
<br>

The best home you'll ever find<br>
<br>
Bearded Lady:<br>
Other folk<br>
Don't know how to take us<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
The world out there can be so unkind<br>
The devil you know<br>

His game of chance<br>
Just might be a scam<br>

You can't play<br>
Then decide you should scram<br>

Promising more heaven<br>
Than they've ever had<br>
<br>
Fortune Teller:<br>
I'm a fortune teller<br>
I can see the future<br>
I can look at people<br>
See what's lying ahead<br>
Violet and Daisy<br>
I see you're bound for glory<br>
That man who was here<br>
Will do all that he said<br>
That man's not a devil<br>
No - Believe it I won't<br>
He's not a devil<br>
No - And miss this chance<br>
I hope that they don't<br>
No don't<br>
No don't<br>
No don't<br>

Might give him a shot<br>
<br>
The "No" Group:<br>
The devil you know<br>
Beats the devil you don't<br>
That promised land<br>
Could turn out to be dry<br>
So dry<br>
Once you're gone<br>
You might ask yourselves why<br>
Maybe you will<br>
But the devil you know<br>
But the devil you know<br>
But the devil you know<br>
<br>
The "Yes" Group:<br>
He's not a devil<br>
I won't believe it<br>
Believe it I won't<br>
Understand<br>
He could be a good guy<br>

Or maybe you won't<br>
No, no, he's not a devil<br>
No, no, he's not a devil<br>
No, no, he's not a devil<br>
<br>
Jake:<br>
Alright<br>
Now we could argue all night<br>
Because we care about you two<br>
Maybe you will go<br>
Or maybe you won't<br>
But I hope you will remember<br>
That that mean old<br>
Money-grubbin'<br>
Gin-guzzlin'<br>
Name-callin'<br>
