lyrics

Lay down devil, you don't have to work no more.
We don't need you to tempt us,
we are knocking at your door.
Come join us for dinner -
we love what you've done with the underworld.
We love the decor, we love the temperature,
so we're building hell on earth.
Devil help us!

Lay down devil. Would you like some more champagne?
Are you comfy in your chair?
Will you indulge us and explain...
how do you keep 'em down?
'cause we're finding it so hard.
How do you keep 'em all in suffering
and yet still remain in charge?
Devil help us!

Lay down devil, won't you open up your gates?
Let the flames spread up.
Let you demons out for recreation
'Cause we're gonna need an army
and we're short of personell.
So, if those demons need employment,
we've got vacancies to fill.
Devil help us!

Lay down devil. Recline your seat.
I'm glad we've met.
Thanks for coming all this way
to take a ride on my private jet.
We love you devil, you don't have to win our hearts -
you've won our souls. We pledge allegiance
and I hope this alliance lasts...

I love the devil and the devil loves me.
Fame and fortune guaranteed.
(Power to the people.
People got the power.
Tell me can you hear it.
Getting stronger by the hour)
