The devil has his mother's eyes
Doesn't drink, don't smoke, now that's some disguise
Catch him at the 7-Eleven givin' the lotto a try
Everyone knows that the devil has his mother's eyes
Well if it's not mine?
Maybe it's yours
It's a toxic valentine
So show some remorse
Show some remorse
The devil sows his father's lies
Screw truth, pound youth, everyone gets to die
Sell your soul for cash, you always wanted to have infernal ties
Everyone knows that the devil sows his father's lies
Well if it's not mine?
Maybe it's yours
It's a toxic valentine
A total divorce
A complete divorce
The devil likes his super-sized
Wouldn't you, if you knew, you'd always be criticized
Because people only change when they're no longer hypnotized
Everyone knows that the devil likes his super-sized
Well if it's not mine?
Maybe it's yours
It's a toxic valentine
A total divorce
So show some remorse.
The devil likes religious guys
Some pope, masonic hope, make for perfect alibis
Keep the poor stupid, and they'll never think to question why
Everyone knows that the devil loves religious guys
Well if it's not mine?
Maybe it's yours
It's a toxic valentine
A total divorce
So show some remorse.

Great !
A little bit of a 'down', I thought well of it!

this is a song, now I've heard you sing Mrs Sexton into life I can hear this one too. Good. And leave the shirt as it is, for my vote.

There are some great lines in this piece.
The devil likes his super-sized
and of course the opening line is a cracker
The devil has his mother's eyes
Doesn't drink, don't smoke, now that's some disguise
The rhyming is not clichéd although its simple and using the same phonetic end rhyme through the verses in this case works well. But at its heart is a good political statement with strong social observation. Liked it.

Oh. And button up your shirt, slick.

That's not me, that's my boy toy Jonny Sirloin Thunders.

fabulous
song-like
and this...
"Because people only change when they're no longer hypnotized"...is brilliant and envy-inducing.

intersting, I liked this piece, liked the structure and the way you expressed yourself...

Nice try, but...
You will always be second to me with regards to the better looking poets of AP and sadly your poetry also comes second to mine. That doesn't mean it isn't fantastic as my poems are near perfection. This is very good.

Except for the fact that this is a song. It's not as one dimensional as a poem, it lives in the ears as a composition, and since I've written 6 records and over 300 recorded songs, I do believe I switched gears on you long ago. Opting to bring my creations to life in both written word and performance.

Ah but you see, nowhere does it say it is a song, I'm sexy, not psychic. I'm still better looking than you. Look at my manly chins. And besides, I know lots of bands that have written x amount of songs, doesn't mean they are any good.

I certainly never claimed them to be good... That would be too easy. I'm merely saying, my cock is huge.
That's why they call me Jonny Sirloin Thunders. -
-
My cock is bigger. Probably. I take after my mother.

I hope it's only as far as cocks go. Unless she has cross-eyes too.

Wow, I loved it, it had the persistant rhythm of a song. Very smoothe flowing, and clever stringing together of words.
"The Devil Has His Mother's Eyes" <<

yes he does...
Because people only change when they're no longer hypnotized...
