Same Devil - Intellectual

[Verse 1: Brandy Clark & Brandi Carlile]

There's a guy sellin' baggies by a telephone pole

To a dime bag girl who's gonna sell her soul

On a corner, round the corner from where her mama sits

Waitin' on a call she hopes she never gets

And there's a boy by a locker white knuckles his bag

Hopin’ that bully picks that other fag

Hidin' in the closet playin' pretend

For a sunday mornin' sermon daddy preachin' on a sin

Same train, different track

Different mama, same heart attack

Same bullet, different gun

Different cross, same son

Same hell, different levels

Different demons (Different demons)

Same devil

There's a suit wearin' snake with a million dollar smile

Shakin' hands with a rat just across the aisle

You voted for the snake and I voted for the rat

They’re rollin' in the dough and we’re fightin' for the scraps

Same crazy, different brain

Different drug, same vein

Same bottle, different proof

Different lie, same old truth

Everybody got some kind of Hell

Just different levels

Different demons (Different demons)

Same devil

He don't knock (He don't knock), he walks right in (He walks right in)

And if you're not watchin' you'll run, right into him

Same wrong, different right

Different tunnel, same bright light

Everybody lookin' for God on every level

Different demons (Different demons)

Same damn devil
