Lyrics

When I was a boy of barely sixteen,
Well, my mama s-s-said to me, "Son,
You keep treatin' people bad & mean
You'll be dead or jailed by twenty-one.

Chorus
DEMON SEED,
That's what you are, you’re a DEMON SEED
The devil's gonna take you,
‘Cause the devil’s spawn is what he made you,
DEMON SEED.

Well, the judge said "Son, you not lyin’"
When you say you've never s-s-shot a man with a gun"
Still, I'm sending you up for hard time,
‘cause you've cut up more than one."

Chorus
DEMON SEED,
That's what you are, you’re a DEMON SEED
The devil's gonna take you,
‘Cause the devil’s spawn is what he made you,
DEMON SEED.

When the warden s-s-stalks the hall,
And the chaplain says “Confess your sins”
But as they strap me down into that stall
I'll vow I'd do it all again'

Chorus
DEMON SEED,
That's what I am – I’m a DEMON SEED
Devil's gonna take me,
‘Cause the devil’s spawn is what he made me,
DEMON SEED.
Devil's gonna take me,
‘Cause the devil’s spawn is what he made me,
DEMON SEED (4x).
