I am the world

I'll hit you right between the eyes and fill your head up full of lies

I am the world, I am the serpent...I'm the devil in disguise



I'm that whiskey, I'm that beer...I'll cause each and every fear

I will draw you children near until you breathe your final tear

I'm that needle, I'm that spoon...I'm what's stuffed in that balloon

I am the melancholy tune behind the sad man on the moon

I'm that money, cold hard cash...I'm that evidence in the trash

I am the taxes that you stash, dust to dust...ash to ash

I'm that bowl of burning weed, which desire will you feed

Once I plant my seed I become everything you need

I'm those dice, I'm that card...on a roll in your backyard

It's really not that hard to catch your heartless mind off-guard



I'm that smile, bedroom eyes...I'm those soft, inviting thighs

I am the world, I am the serpent...I'm the devil in disguise



I am you, you are me...I am the only one you see

What you need me to be so will you never break free

I'm your promise, I'm your pledge...I am evil, so they allege

I'm a newborn on a ledge, I am a wall...I am a wedge

I am even oh so odd that I will always spare the rod

I'm the truth that is a fraud here to separate you from God

I'm unrighteous, I'm unjust... I am sin, I am lust

I'm the seed of deep mistrust, I'm the fallen-angel dust

I'm that left, I'm that right...I'm the rage inside the fight

I'm the darkest part of night as you cry out for the Light



I'm your death and your demise...on your last breath you are my prize

I am the world, I am the serpent...I'm the devil in disguise



I'm abuse, I'm neglect...I am the cause and the effect

I am the family that you wrecked, the suicide you resurrect

I am the fuel to the fire...I'm your dark, worldly desire

I am your lows becoming higher and the liar you admire

I'm the club, I'm the dance...I'm the sugar in your pants

I'm the stumbling, drunk romance...I'm your last and final chance

I'm your lover, I'm your hater...I am the thing that you deem greater

In the end I am a traitor...between you and your Creator

I am X and MaryJane...I'm that line of pure cocaine

I'm the bloodstain in the rain...I am pleasure, I am pain



I am clever, I am wise...I am ever on the rise

I am the world, I am the serpent...I'm the devil in disguise



You can run, but you can't hide...many lost souls already tried

Until to I AM you've cried...I am always by your side
