This song is really sad.. it shows how bad the world is.. and how people commit atrocities that even the devil couldn’t imagine. It’s a very beautiful and powerful song.
The lyrical line "My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised, and the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise" is incredibly deep and chilling. People are willing to do terrible things that will destroy themselves, sometimes without thinking much about the outcome. This song is something truly special and one of my all time favorites.
This is an awesome song and more relevant today more than ever I have never been a singer but I want to learn so I can belt this out to a crowd, good stuff
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
I reread Revelations last night, I’ve been listening to this song for a while but it really spoke out today after listening to it again. You may not believe in God that’s okay that’s your prerogative and choice, but I believe we’ll all be judged for our crimes and atrocities and fully believe a false prophet is among us now and the Beast is controlling him I don’t know who that is but I won’t follow him. May all of you have an awesome day
One, two, three, four If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire Find all the wolves in the land And I'd make them fight each other Tooth and nail and hand to hand Find all the sheep, make 'em stir up the pot 'Cause once the wolves have killed each other Sheep are what I want The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground As I place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow Well, I'd shine in all the tears of joy, yelling from the crowd I'd want to brainwash some parents and I'd have the world I'll be in every schoolhouse lecturing little boys and girls The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you But one thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground Mmm Mmm For my final act, I'll tell you what'd it'd be I'd have everyone so medicated, they could never see My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you One thing that I know, we need to take a look around If I were the devil, this world would be my playground If I were the devil and this world was mine to see Well, I'd witness all the atrocities and it'd probably frighten me So I'd run back home with a story to tell I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell
I love this song. I believe in the devil and hell with every fiber of my being, but I don’t know if I believe in heaven. I lived in hell for two decades, I know hell is real, and it’s right here on Earth hidden in plain sight. The devil’s not my enemy anymore though, mankind is. Because the devil would be nothing without his human archons and vampires sewing the destruction they blame him for and their victims for.
He can't win, if we continue to be vigilant. We are ALL the devil. And we are god. We are atrocity and despair.I am sickened by the fact of how difficult it has become to have a bright outlook. I am STILL a light however. You are too.
The people Who say this song isn’t about Religion are the ones he’s singing about. Most Americans have become a herd of brainwashed sheep with all bark and no bite, a tragedy written by parents who can’t parent due to addiction and self motivation. So they try to see the world through a secular lense to fathom the hardship, and numb the pain with their own vices, the veracity continues and so on and so forth. If you seek God he will direct your path. I say this with love, fight the good fight. If you are struggling, any one of y’all can always hmu. I mean that. Be willing to educate yourself my friends 💯 Jesus is King 💯
I have heard many different versions some say thorny crown and then I heard golden crown I wonder 🤔 where his influence comes from as below so above? Or is it above so below?
My friend, there’s only one true God and one true way to salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ, not by works, but by faith are we saved the power of Christ mercy I pray you come to understand this one day or he forgives all sin and all he requires his faith and acceptance faith cannot be lost and redemption cannot be forsaken for the Lord. Your God is with you whatever you go.
There's a man who walks beside me It is who I used to be And I wonder if she sees him And confuses him with me And I wonder who she's pinin' for On nights I'm not around Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down? I was rougher than a timber Shippin' out of Fond du Lac When I headed south at 17 Ol' sheriff on my back I never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze So I found another victim every couple days But the night I fell in love with her I made my weakness known Through the fires and the farmers diggin' dusty fields alone The jealous innuendos of the lonely hearted men Let me know what kind of country I was sleeping in Well you couldn't stay a loner On the plains before the war My neighbors had been slightin' me I had to ask what for Rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter Killed a couple men or more And I told her her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword All the things that she'd suspected I'd expected her to fear Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here There's a man who walks beside me He is who I used to be And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me And I wonder who she's pinin' for On nights I'm not around Could it be the man who did the things I'm living down? Well I carved a cross from live oak And a box from shortleaf pine Buried her so deep She touched the water table line I picked up what I needed And I headed south again To myself I wondered Would I find another friend There's a man who walks beside her It is who I used to be And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
We are not allowed to compete because of Lifelong Political Parasites They only allow the people that pay them off. We have had crony capitalism for decades. & massive unfair imports. With no tariffs. We have Crony Capitalism by Gov. Socialists. Unionized GOVERNMENT is Organized crime
this site has the lyrics wrong and they are wrong on most sites. Its "If I were the devil, this world wouldn't be my play ground." we can see this message when he later talks about rather being in hell. Its almost like he is saying we are already in hell, just one much worse than his. S!utcakes

“I don’t know if he’s red and I don’t know if he’s blue.” That’s an amazing double entendres.
For me this was the hardest hitting line.
This song is really sad.. it shows how bad the world is.. and how people commit atrocities that even the devil couldn’t imagine. It’s a very beautiful and powerful song.
It’s madness.. I wonder if this world is actual hell sometimes.
I know that’s not a cool thing to say.. and I also know it’s all perspectives. But still.
I love the song
The lyrical line "My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised, and the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise" is incredibly deep and chilling.

@@jalight27 it’s definitely not about capitalism

I've loved this song. It rang true first time i heard it. Man does it hit home today😢
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Sorry I mostly read nonfiction nowadays…. 🙄
It's not even about religion.
I felt this to my bones......

Ever wonder if ur savior returned, that he'd come as the one thing you'd never expect or be able to forgive?
‘If I were the devil’ by Paul Harvey, is also a good one to listen too. Great song.
Yeah had to be inspired by the Paul Harvey
K lets be straight forward here.
Amazing song.
If i were the devil and this world were mine to see.
This is amazing and I’m proud to be here before you blow up

One, two, three, four
If I were the devil, first thing that'd I'd do
Is I'd come off like I ever gave a damn about you
I'd let you catch a peak of all your greatest desires
And I'd watch the flames in your eyes burn like hellfire
Find all the wolves in the land
And I'd make them fight each other
Tooth and nail and hand to hand
Find all the sheep, make 'em stir up the pot
'Cause once the wolves have killed each other
Sheep are what I want
The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true
And I don't know if he's red, and I don't know if he's blue
One thing that I know, we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
As I place that thorny crown on my furrowed brow
Well, I'd shine in all the tears of joy, yelling from the crowd
I'd want to brainwash some parents and I'd have the world
I'll be in every schoolhouse lecturing little boys and girls
The devil walks among us, friends, I know this is true
And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you
But one thing that I know, we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
Mmm
Mmm
For my final act, I'll tell you what'd it'd be
I'd have everyone so medicated, they could never see
My cloven hooves or horned head would be all disguised
And the best part of it all is they'd comply with their demise
The devil walks among us friends, I know this is true
And I don't know if it's me, and I don't know if it's you
One thing that I know, we need to take a look around
If I were the devil, this world would be my playground
If I were the devil and this world was mine to see
Well, I'd witness all the atrocities and it'd probably frighten me
So I'd run back home with a story to tell
I'd tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell
🎉😂
Peek
Good we know you can read 😂
Amazing poetry 😢❤
wowsers....best lyrics I've heard in a long while. Well done indeed sir.
In my humble opinion, the seminal lyric “ and the best part of it all they’d comply with their demise “
And the devil walked away. To return to his family who awaited him with open arms.
This song is about this world today.....
AMAZING song!!
Six pack of beer in, I’m in the Texas panhandle this song hits hard.
Best daum song eva!!!... 999777
I love this song. I believe in the devil and hell with every fiber of my being, but I don’t know if I believe in heaven.

This song reminds me a lot of another one i just can’t remember the name
Keep the wolves away?
@@J0k3R32100 that’s gotta be it
Keep the wolves away
@@J0k3R32100 Yep. Thought the same.
A couple that almost instantly came to mind are
Reckoning Song- Asaf Avidan
Playing For Keeps- Elle King
The Psychopathic/Sociopathic/Narcissistic mental states of a number of people. A number that is disturbingly high.
😂 I guess so. You can never control a anger especially if they don't change
He can't win, if we continue to be vigilant. We are ALL the devil. And we are god. We are atrocity and despair.I am sickened by the fact of how difficult it has become to have a bright outlook. I am STILL a light however. You are too.

That just made me cry out loud. [Edit: Twelve hours later. Is the translation supposed to be a joke? If so, not funny.]

The first thing that I'd do is come across like I ever gave a damn about you... That it my soul like a freight train
Still like it tho
I have heard many different versions some say thorny crown and then I heard golden crown I wonder 🤔 where his influence comes from as below so above? Or is it above so below?
It doesn't matter.
They both interchangeable if you change one u change the other regardless.

If { we're the deR devil........ The beast wouldn't need to feed......
First sentence said it ALL
I know this is weird but this song always makes me think of a theme song for a serial killer like this song would be perfect for Jeff dahmer 😂
There's a man who walks beside me
It is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him
And confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pinin' for
On nights I'm not around
Could it be the man who did the things
I'm living down?
I was rougher than a timber
Shippin' out of Fond du Lac
When I headed south at 17
Ol' sheriff on my back
I never held a lover in my arms or in my gaze
So I found another victim every couple days
But the night I fell in love with her
I made my weakness known
Through the fires and the farmers diggin' dusty fields alone
The jealous innuendos of the lonely hearted men
Let me know what kind of country I was sleeping in
Well you couldn't stay a loner
On the plains before the war
My neighbors had been slightin' me
I had to ask what for
Rumors of my wickedness had reached our little town
Soon she'd heard about the boys I used to hang around
We'd robbed a Great Lakes freighter
Killed a couple men or more
And I told her her eyes flickered like the sharp steel of a sword
All the things that she'd suspected
I'd expected her to fear
Was the truth that drew her to me when I landed here
There's a man who walks beside me
He is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
And I wonder who she's pinin' for
On nights I'm not around
Could it be the man who did the things
I'm living down?
Well I carved a cross from live oak
And a box from shortleaf pine
Buried her so deep
She touched the water table line
I picked up what I needed
And I headed south again
To myself I wondered
Would I find another friend
There's a man who walks beside her
It is who I used to be
And I wonder if she sees him and confuses him with me
It does sound similar
why does it sound like he is say "wouldn't be "??
He's saying it's not the devil but it's humans.
If I was the Blue Devil.... Lucifer would be ∆ way of life not just a dream....
Have y'all figured it out yet ✌️
Relation to Roy acuff?
Nah bro, I just love this song so I subtitled it.
I swear I hear him saying this world WOULDN'T be my playground but all the lyrics say WOULD. . . Am I wrong here?
Does God have sympathy for the Devil?
Lucifer oh morning star? His own creation?
I love everyone and everything because I understand.
If I was the 1 Tru profit....... It would not build hate but only 1 not 2..... GOD is gr......h8t
Anyone else think this is about our current situation and capitalism on a whole?
We are not allowed to compete because of Lifelong Political Parasites
They only allow the people that pay them off. We have had crony capitalism for decades.
& massive unfair imports. With no tariffs. We have Crony Capitalism by Gov. Socialists.
Unionized GOVERNMENT is Organized crime
Current situation
Not too much wrong with true capitalism, lots wrong with fake capitalism we have
You sound like a weak little whiner, you’re talking about the capitalism that created YT and allows you to post stupid comments right? Get a job

If I was the Devil I would have missing lyrics and it not matching up with the song lmao!!
