[Verse 1]
Well the Devil woke up on a Sunday
With the sun burnin’ over his head
Said, “Maybe I’ll try to be nice today”
But the first thing he did was mislead instead
He poured black coffee in a broken cup
Put a smile on like it might suffice
But halfway through, he just gave it up
Every time, he forgets to be nice
[Chorus]
Oh, he swears he’s just misunderstood
Says his horns are really a crown that's good
But every time he tries to pull himself up
He slips and burns the whole town down
It ain’t malice, it’s just his vice
The Devil forgets to be nice
[Verse 2]
He walked right by a beggar in the alley
Tossed him a coin made of smoke
Asked a preacher for some holy water
Then laughed before the old man spoke
It’s like his heart’s got faulty wiring
Short-circuits in paradise
He starts off right almost inspiring—
But the Devil forgets to be nice
[Bridge]
Maybe in another life
He could’ve been your friend who's nice
But he loves the chaos way too much
To follow through ’til the end
Even when he swears he’s helping
Every kindness comes with a price
For the devil who forgets to be nice
