• I thought that I was in heaven
  But I was sure surprised
  Heaven help me, I didn't see
  The devil in your eyes

  Walk like an angel
  Talk like an angel
  But I got wise
  You're the devil in disguise
  Oh yes you are
  The devil in disguise

• What is called music today is all too often only a disguise for the monologue of power. However, and this is the supreme irony of it all, never before have musicians tried so hard to communicate with their audience, and never before has that communication been so deceiving.
