As I was sitting at my desk today, a song by Andy Gullahorn was stuck in my head. So, I decided to share it with all of you out there in internet-land. Following are the lyrics to "If I Were" by Andy Gullahorn. Humorously, this song describes how the singer (Andy) would behave if he were the devil; ironically, the description Andy gives accurately depicts the real devil and his character.

"If I Were"
By Andy Gullahorn
.
.
If I were the devil, I wouldn't wear red
I wouldn't have horns or a pitchfork
I wouldn't breathe fire 'cause it might give me away
But if I were the devil, you'd never know
I'd befriend you quick and corrupt you slow
So you don't notice until it's far too late
If I were the devil... if I were the devil...
If I were the devil, I'd spend all day
Lowering standards of what's okay
To think, to say, to watch on your TV
I'd break down the value of promises kept
And fade out truth till there's nothing left
Except gossip and lies popping up as thick as weeds
If I were the devil... if I were the devil...
I might not be as foreign as you think
'Cause I wouldn't always show my evil side
I've got the time and patience just to wait
And steal your soul just one sin at a time
Like I would if I were...
No, I'm not the devil, but if I was
I'd take God's people and split them up
To keep their minds off who they're called to be
So they're no longer fighting over living or dead
It's "Is it the body or just bread?"
While all the unfed die hungry on the street
If I were the devil... if I were the devil...
I'd make moms and dads who never stick around
And pain so bad you have to drink to drown
And guilt so I can kick you when you're down
And I would if I were...
If I were the devil, I wouldn't wear red
I wouldn't have horns or a pitchfork
I wouldn't breathe fire 'cause it might give me away
