It's a sign of the times,
you can feel it in the air
You can see it on the faces
You can hear it on the streets,
you can see it on the news
there's a devil on the loose
Boys are runnin' with the guns
Girls havin' babies too young
Father leave before they're born
Leavin' the girl to mourn
Mothers prayin', worried, cryin'
Lord, there's a devil on the loose
Yes, there's a devil on the loose
There's a devil goin' wild
There's a devil on the loose
For every woman and child
There's a devil on the prowl,
And he's working hard for the souls
of people like me and you
Thrive on the evil that's done
He's got to get his people to deal
He's got to get his people to lie
He's got to get his people to kill
He's got to keep his people high
He's got to get his people together
He's gonna talk them into suicide
Any way he get the people dyin'
He's gonna devour them like a lion
You can feel it in the air
You can see it on the faces
Well, you can see him on the streets,
you can hear it on the news
there's a devil on the loose
there's a devil on the loose
there's a devil on the loose
