Well the devil made me do it do it do it The devil made me trip and fall The devil drove me to it to it to it Till I had no chance at all. What did I do that was so bad To go and get myself arrested? Just hit town to have some fun But I ended up in the trash can. There I was in the witness stand My eyes turned towards the jury Trying to recall what went wrong last night But it won’t come right back to me. chorus The lawyer said "Son won’t you plead the fifth And don’t speak unless requested". Using all the words at his command His skills were sorely tested. Then to my complete surprise They went and called a hostile witness; The devil himself well he took the stand And that’s where my case rested chorus What did I do that was so bad To go and get myself arrested? Well I was just in town to have some fun But I ended up in the trash can. There I was in the witness box My eyes turned towards the jury Trying to recall what went wrong last night But it won’t come back to me. chorus chorus Well the devil drove me to it to it to it The devil made me trip and fall The devil drove me to it to it to it Till I had no chance at all Till I had no chance at all Till I had no mind at all. ?? _______________________________________________________ Contribuição: Ivan Fromer([email protected])

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'une personne qui se retrouve dans une situation compliquée après une nuit de fête. Il réalise qu'il a fait de mauvais choix qui l'ont conduit à se faire arrêter, mais il a du mal à se souvenir des détails de la soirée. Face à un tribunal, il peine à expliquer comment il en est arrivé là, se sentant presque manipulé par des forces obscures. Le diable, dans ce récit, symbolise les tentations et les influences néfastes qui nous poussent à agir de manière irresponsable. Le contexte évoqué dans la chanson reflète souvent les luttes internes que nous vivons tous, surtout quand il s'agit de choix néfastes pris dans l'enthousiasme d'un moment. Les thèmes de la responsabilité personnelle et des conséquences de nos actes sont omniprésents, rendant cette expérience universelle, que l'on soit dans un milieu festif ou non.
