Devil's Due Lyrics

Cast is tight, the budget's sweet, the final scene's a doozy

The greedy and the powerful are hiding in their pews

To no use

When the devil comes to take his due, mhm

Won't be cute

We really need to show how gruesome

The focus groups are horrified, but I'm through with peak-a-boo

The score is ripe for ringing up, however grim & cruel

'Cause who's to choose

When the devil comes to take his due, mhm?

Just won't do to sweeten the conclusion

It's so spectacular in scale

When the Horror of Justice rules

No one has seen anything like it, I say

Nothing that compares at all

But between us, I don't buy it,

it's an old con, dressed anew

We're the one's who'll burn & stew

While the rich guy bags the loot

Still, it's no less true

The devil will collect his due, mhm

Sad and true

Our countdown's in the making, too

Yes, it's true

The Devil will collect his due

So, what's new -- now, that could be a sequel, too
