The Devil's Own Lyrics


The devil's own
Why?
Where did I go wrong?
Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done
You've always criticized me
Where did I go wrong?
Who was I supposed to be?
When it’s said and done
Will you remember?
Slap on the wrist, smack in the face
The family tree
Gave me a name and nothing more
Neglected seed, why?
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside
I never asked to be here
It's because of you I'm godforsaken

I never wanted this
It's because of you I'm dead inside
Where did I go wrong?
Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done
You've always criticized me
What did I do wrong?
What was I supposed to be?
When it’s said and done
Will you remember me?
A happy home, a fairy tale
A broken dream
Gave me a life then turned away
Killed everything, why?
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside
I never asked to be here
It's because of you I'm godforsaken
I never wanted this
It's because of you I'm dead inside
I've died, fuck
Father, bastard, I'm the devil's very own
Mother, know not just who I've become
Father, hate me for being all you're not
Mother's baby, I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become
I hate what I've become
It's because of you I'm broken
It's because of you I'm dead inside
Where did I go wrong?
Who was I supposed to be?
No matter what I've done
You've always criticized me
What did I do wrong?
What was I supposed to be?
When it's said and done
Will you remember me?

David Sylvian (born, David Alan Batt, 23rd of February 1958, in Beckenham, Kent, UK) is an English singer, musician and composer who first rose to fame as the lead vocalist and main songwriter of the band Japan, and whose subsequent solo career has been influenced by a variety of musical styles and genres, including jazz, ambient music and electronic music. Japan - which also included Mick Karn, Rob Dean, Richard Barbieri and Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen - started out as a confusing hybrid rock/sleaze outfit in the mould of David Bowie and The New York Dolls.
