5. I Could Have Been An Angel

Jesus and the devil spent 40 days
Tryna figure out how they got this way
Talking about how you fall from grace
In the first place
The devil said I didn't ask for this
I'm not some kind of masochist
Nobody plans to be an anarchist
Oh, what if I could change

I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But there was a ghost, in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
And lucky you, you got the halo
You know I could've been the angel
You could've been the devil

Gimme what you got and please don't run
I really don't wanna hurt no one
Just put it in the bag and drop the gun
Nice and slow
The clerk said take anything you need
Just gimme one thing before you leave
Tell me how a man becomes a thief
I gotta know

He said I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But I had a ghost, in my machine
He got hungry, I got mean
And lucky you, you got a halo
You know I could've been the angel
You could've been the devil

I could've been an angel
You know you could've been the devil
Maybe you should've been the devil

'Cause I was a baby, just like you
I had a soul, shiny and new
But I had a ghost, in my machine
He got hungry and I got mean
And lucky you, you got a halo
You know I could've been an angel
You could've been the devil

Oh, you know I could've been the angel
I bet you could've been the devil
