about

"war shall reign happily"

lyrics

If I was the Devil, I would set the world to rights.
If I was the Devil, I would set the world alight,
One conflagration at a time,
Just to see the pretty lights.

If I was the Devil.
I wouldn’t need to do a fucking thing.

A proclamation, united nations,
Denigration, disinformation,
Demonstrations, remonstration,
Deportation, assassination.

If I was the Devil, I would set the world to rights.
If I was the Devil, I would set the world alight,
One complication at a time.
Will they ever see the light
Or just the fire?

If I was the Devil.
If I was the Devil.
Sit back and watch it burn,
My work here is done.

If I was the Devil.
If I was the Devil.
My work here is done,
Sit back and watch it burn.

Sit back and watch the fun.

Obfuscation, condemnation,
Isolation, prestidigitation,
Retrograde amnesia,
Propagate hysteria.

Rigged elections, insurrection
Revolution, de-evolution
Foreign collusion, self-delusion
Final solution.

The air is poison,
The land is dying, the seas are rising.
Light the blue touchpaper,
Sit back and watch it burn.
