Jake:

I'm not gonna tell you

You're making a mistake

Tell you not to go

No I won't

I'll only say

What I've learned along my way

The devil you know

Beats the devil you don't

We don't work

In the best of situations

We don't live very well

We don't live in the neighborhood of heaven

We live somewhere closer to hell

Now we have learned

To work around the situation

Learned to hide

Till the heat has passed

You will learn a promise of salvation

Can mask another inferno's blast

The devil you know

Beats the devil you don't

That promised land

Could turn out to be dry

Once you're gone

You might ask yourselves why

Maybe you will

Or maybe you won't

But the devil you know

Beats the devil you don't

Oh yeah

Then decide you should scram

Or maybe you won't

Fortune Teller:

I'm a fortune teller

I can see the future

I can look at people

See what's lying ahead

I see you're bound for glory

That man who was here

Will do all that he said

That man's not a devil

Once you're gone

Maybe you will

But the devil you know

Jake:

Alright

Now we could argue all night

Because we care about you two

Maybe you will go

Or maybe you won't

But I hope you will remember

That that mean old

Money-grubbin'

Name-callin'

Devil you know

Might be better than

That smooth talkin'

Fine-lookin'

Dream-spinnin'

Promise makin'

Devil you don't
