Jack Stafford - Give the Devil His Due Lyrics



Jack Stafford - Give the Devil His Due Lyrics




Through much of my life I was lost, to what opinions were mine
I was blown with the wind, confused, most of the time

But hindsight is helpful for learning, and I learnt a lot
I'm older and wiser and stronger with the knowledge I've got

The right from the wrong, the false from the true
I gave the Devil his due

There were times when I had to close my ears, cos I couldn't bear to hear
When people had terrible views, that filled me with fear

Or lies like a virus infected, I thought all conspiracy
But more times exposed, meant greater immunity

Consensus can hide. Discern and decide
I gave the Devil his due

I've learnt the most from those with whom I disagreed
They forced me to think what exactly it was I believed

Knowledge is a currency. But wisdom is gold
Weigh up the value of everything, you've ever been told

Most of it's wrong, but some of it's true
So I gave the Devil his due
