Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music

Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music

I want the people to know that He saved my soul

I still like to listen to the radio, they say

"Rock 'n roll is wrong, give you one more chance"

Feel so good, I wanna get up and dance

I know what's right, I know what's wrong, I don't

confuse it

Well, all I'm really tryin' to say

Why should the devil have all the good music?

I've been filled, I feel okay, yeah

Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away

They say to cut my hair, they're drivin' me insane

Grew it out long to make room for my brain

But sometimes people don't understand

What a good boy is doin' in a rock n' roll band

There's nothin' wrong with playin', playin' blues licks

If you've got a reason, I want to hear it

Why should the devil have all the good music?

I've been filled, I feel okay, yeah

Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away

I ain't knockin' the hymns, just give me a song that

has a beat

I ain't knockin' the hymns but give me a song that

moves my feet

I don't like any of 'em funeral marches, I ain't dead

yet

All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say

Why should the devil have all the good music?

All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say

Why should the devil have all the good music?

All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say

Why should the devil have all the good music?

All I wanna, I wanna, I wanna say

Why should the devil have all the good music?

Jesus told the truth and Jesus showed the way

One more thing I'd like to say

They nailed Him to the cross, they laid Him in the

ground

Shouldn't you can't keep Jesus Christ down, no

I feel good everyday, I don't want to lose it

All I wanna, I wanna one more time now

Why should the devil have all the good music?

I've been filled, I feel okay

Jesus is the rock, He rolled my blues, He will roll

your blues

Jesus is the rock, He'll roll your blues away
