The Devil You Know - Jesus Jones

A life to call our own

That is ours alone

Is as hard as hell to come by these days

It’s time that I took what’s mine

Took it now

Things aren’t what they were, they’re what they are

There’s no time of our own

And the devil you know is the only one

And the devil you know is the only one

Is time too fast for us to grasp

Something of our own?

The ghost of the past has its arms around me

It moves everywhere in all I hear and see

And the devil you know is the only one

And the devil you know is the only one

Look at you now, look at you then

See how you will be

All of your life belongs to me

And only me because

Things aren’t what they were, they’re what they are

There’s no time of our own

And the devil you know is the only one
