Lyrics Jesus Jones – The Devil You Know

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

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
