Devil's Due

Cast is tight, the budget's sweet, the final scene's a doozy The greedy and the powerful are hiding in their pews To no use When the devil comes to take his due, mhm Won't be cute We really need to show how gruesome The focus groups are horrified, but I'm through with peak-a-boo The score is ripe for ringing up, however grim & cruel 'Cause who's to choose When the devil comes to take his due, mhm? Just won't do to sweeten the conclusion It's so spectacular in scale When the Horror of Justice rules No one has seen anything like it, I say Nothing that compares at all But between us, I don't buy it, it's an old con, dressed anew We're the one's who'll burn & stew While the rich guy bags the loot Still, it's no less true The devil will collect his due, mhm Sad and true Our countdown's in the making, too Yes, it's true The Devil will collect his due So, what's new -- now, that could be a sequel, too
