Take off your coat and sit down
Your diamond cloak, just sit down
What should you say to emperor with no clothes
Or the children with no hope
How do you reason with the devil
I'm staring him straight in the eye
How can you live as a hypocrite
Say change must come, but make none yourself
How can you claim that you care
But turn a blind eye when it's there
Are you saving face?
How do you reason with the devil
I'm staring him straight in the eye
So pay your dues, your fair share
I won't ask for much, it's not unfair
I am no optimist, but to expose you for this
Is justified
How do you reason with the devil
I'm staring him straight in the eye
