I always did what I was told
But silver’s half as good as gold
Like everyone I’ve got my problems
And no one knows just how to solve them

What’s this I heard about the devil in the details?
This plan fell short and there’s no time for telling tall tales
Maybe you can’t win back sunk cost
I’ve never bet on black and lost

There is no real me to find
Cut me loose, leave me behind
With the bare essentials for survival
And a tape cassette of the holy bible

And you will know me as the devil in the details
Or as the vultures that are scavenging your entrails
And if this toxic culture’s mine
Cut me loose and leave me behind

And you will know me as the devil in the details
Or as the vultures that are scavenging your entrails
Our plan fell short, now there’s no time for telling tall tales
