There's somethin' in the world, it's goin' on
I can't understand it, and it sure feels wrong
Bad is lookin' good, good is lookin' bad
Sister, mother, brother, y'all I think we've been had

Whoo-o, the devil's on the loose
O-oh, you got to tell him, "No!'"

Uptown, downtown, everywhere you look around
Inside, outside, sneak up from the backside
Front door, closed door, what does it hold in store?
Turn on, turn off, takin' what'll get you lost

Whoo-o, the devil's on the loose
O-oh, you got to tell him, "No!'"

Shoot up, shoot out, what's-ah life all about?
Payday, May Day, too old to get away
Fat cats, black cats, don't let 'em cross your paths
Sad scene, thirteen, every day is Halloween

Whoo-o, the devil's on the loose
O-oh, you to let it go
Whoo-o, the devil's on the loose
O-oh, you got to tell him, "No!'"

Whoo-o, the devil's on the loose (yeah)
O-oh, you got to tell him, "No!'"
