"the devil"
Written by: Stephen Wilson Jr.
Hand on The Bible lies
Maggots turn to flies
The whole world’s gone to hell
Momma’s back in jail
Just can’t get enough
Think we’ve had too much
Gunfire in the school
Melt down the golden rule
Wear your promise ring
The preacher’s got a thing for me
Keep it to yourself
The whole world’s gone to hell
A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin to make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
The louder one above the rest will call himself a rebel
There's the one you know and there’s the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
Work hard for the man
Spare the rod hell, use your hands
The hate will break you down
You’re the toughest guy in town
Oh say can you see
The nearest pharmacy
A needle to the vein
Might be the thing that’ll kill the pain
Go trade away your soul
You swear the world will never know
That you were even here
How he whispers in your ear...
A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin to make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
The louder one above the rest will call himself the rebel
There's the one you know and there’s the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
As I lay me down
Go on, get behind thee now
A snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin to make more room for the poison
And the filthy rich will rob you clean until you raise your voices
The louder one above the rest will call himself the rebel
There's the one you know and there’s the one you don't
But they're still both the devil
Can you believe this man is my Son!! I listen to the words and made me cry from joy and from how proud I am of my son, Stephen. You have no more to prove my son, you are a winner!!!
We are so very happy to have your son to make our ears happy! He is truly talented.
You should be so proud. This man has so much to say, and I’ll be listening close ❤️
Music from the soul for souls...be proud
Well we appreciate you bringing in this wonderful soul ma’am
What a beautiful comment from a momma. God bless you
The fact that this dude ain't topping the charts says all you need to know about the state of modern country.
i don't know how people don't get tired of the current kind of country style songs.
Judging from the sold out show if his I attended last weekend, I have a feeling that is going to be changing pretty soon...
@@supaax1 I HOPE so, he deserves some real recognition!!! The voice, the lyrics.... genius!!!
When I heard this song on Billions I was less focused on the dialogues (no disrespect to the scene. It was awesome) and more focused on the lyrics of the song so that I can search the song and listen to it. What an absolute masterpiece!
Thankfully The great sound engineer masterfully wove the lyrics between the dialogue in the show. “The snake will crawl the earth to shed its skin…” oh boy. Chilling
Same, came here after that scene!!
ditto
same, came here before the scene ends!
I know. I heard this and was like DAMN THATS AN AWESOME SONG!!
Jesus Christ... I just bumped into a solid wall of talent here... I was researching a bit on this guy because of his wife and his playing of God gave me horses... I'm so thankful I landed here... This is raw, pure talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes sir
This guy is amazing.
Same
What do you mean 'playing of God '?
@@ImmortalExplorer
Playing as in performing the song “God Gave Me Horses”
I had a feeling id see my fellow Billions enthusiasts pop up here. Beautiful song!
Billions is pretty good, but its WOKE propaganda ruins it.....
Heard this wonderful song on Billions S7E4. How did I miss it for these years? So powerful. Every success to you sir.
same, i heard the lyrics and i had to look this up
Same experience and reaction as me. I hope so many more experience it.
SAME!
I see we all in this thread have a connection: Billions!!! Music is surely a Universal Language.
Hey Stephen,
You'll probably never read this. But, I just wanted to tell you that you're helping me through a very hard time right now. You make me lay in my bed and cry while thinking about all the things I have to be grateful for instead of ending it all. Someday I'll be the toughest guy in town again. Thanks for the songs.
Jarvis.
I’m glad the music is helping you, Jarvis. Take care of yourself and I’m thankful you’re here & for the comment. Hang in there. 🖤SWJr.
@@StephenWilsonJr awesome song !! Loving all your stuff!
❤
Jarvis, I hope you won my friend. I’m glad you wrote this. We’re all human. We can be tougher together
This man deserves so much more recognition
Fentanyl really messed me up, here I am, the day after my birthday I started to fill sick to my stomach about me being in this situation for so long. Today 9-16-23 I’m putting my faith in myself to finally get thru this bump in my road, opioids already ruined my childhood, don’t want them anywhere near from me, thank you , my only god, protect me and my brother down here and please hope my dads up there drinking a bush in lawn chair singing jimmy buffet, god bless -Julian James Bourguet
I absolutely love the clear grunge and 90s influence on midwest folk americana sound, it's incredible,
Yes! Stephen is phenomenal!
Sorry I’m listening again and I can’t help but think about how proud your dad must be watching you from heaven! 🥰
Ashley Bowen I do miss him so much, especially today. Thank you again for all your kind words.
@@StephenWilsonJr we seen you last night in Shawnee OK. Never heard of u before. But I have listened to u since last night, and you are AMAZING!!! Can't wait to here more from you.!! 💗💯
@@susianfrunk3869 I can’t believe I didn’t find out about him until after he played in Shawnee!! That’s just a short drive from Pittsburg County ! Maybe he’ll come back there or to Cain’s Ballroom soon !!
Thanks to Billions for introducing this to me. 🙂🙂🙂
THIS is the best Country music I’ve ever heard. I never listen to country. I prefer folk and old “country” but wow man. Wow. You pretty much made a new genre of its own with this and 94.
This is the best song to come out of Nashville in many years!!!! Refreshing...
Well done brother.
Keep on Listening
check out his new album that came out last week. good shit
Just when I think your music can’t get any better, it does.
This is probably, absolutely the best song and video I’ve ever seen and listen to in all of my life. All of your songs I can truly relate to and harmonize with.
Your talent is unmatched. Your writing, your voice and guitar playing is just absolutely insane.
I believe in everything happening for a reason, even though sometimes it’s hard to accept. But, your music came into my life at the right time and I am thankful.
I don’t wanna sound like a nut but I believe your music is truly saving my life.
No other artist should ever play or sing your songs.
I can’t thank you enough!
- God Bless 📿
Billions bought me here. Lovely song
Apparently I’m 4 years late in discovering the badassery of SWJr., but I got here as soon as I could. Every once in a while when I’m getting bored with music, I discover (for myself) a Sturgill Simpson, Tyler Childers, Sierra Ferrell, Hayes Carll and now SWJr. Thank you.
I heard this song in Billions.
I am playing it over an over .
Such a great song.
Thank you Billions!
I love how the moodiness of the countryside fits the song like a glove.
Billions brought me here...the amazing talent kept me here
I found this song and this man, Stephen Wilson, today!
Tears of joy for this discovery !!
Thankyou BILLIONS season 7 ep. 4
Keep saying the good words buddy!
May God shine a light for you in dark times, as you shall be a light in dark times for the world!
Just heard this on Billions, Season 7, Episode 4 - truly moving
Thanks, Billions, for recognizing this talent!
Billions brought me here. Lyrics hit me like a train. Just grabbed my phone and started typing them into google as I had to find the song
If you just came from Billions gather here let's appreciate a legend
👋🤘
😊👍💯🙋♀️
To the people saying “all the new music is crap”
Look around. This is solid gold
This guy should be a HUGE music star! So much talent. Been on a binge of his music (a friend shared this video on Facebook last night). Consider me a new big fan.
Rick Johnson 100% agree
I doubt he wants to be, the same as Oliver Anthony. These guys aren't about selling their souls.
Oh my God what an AMAZING song. Thank you Kathy for raising a good man.
Its refreshing to hear some authentic, outlaw country music for a change as opposed to the country pop were getting at the moment.
This man is authetic, raw and super talented
Billions SO7 Episode 4 brought me here.
#Metoo
I, too, am here because of Billions. What a talent. Glad I found it!
Amazing, heartfelt, powerhouse song about the times we live in. The reality, the theology, and the reach to the conscience of every person who knows “things just aren’t right” is sublime. Keep making these songs.
A Masterpiece. Enough said.
THIS is “lost in my headphones” music!!!! Wow.
I, too, heard this song on "Billions". I had to have it. I don't know why this artist is not a country superstar!
I've had the pleasure of seeing Stephen Wilson live a few times and he is an amazing talent. Pay attention to him.
This guy is steady growing on my musical soul. First song I heard was 🌜🌜1994🌛🌛 I think it's called and I've never related more to a song than that one. I was supposed to graduate in 94/95 got GED in 96 anyways that was the absolute hands down best time of my life and that song took me right back to that sacred and beloved era. The other 2 or 3 songs I've heard of his have been awesome also I'm looking forward to checking all of this guys music out. Keep doing what you are doing brother - you are knocking them out of the park. Much respect 💯✌️💚🍀🌎🍻
Dude, absolutely phenomenal. Truly excellent songwriting, singing, and music.
Billions brought me here....love these lyrics!!!
Thank you Billions.
Dude. Unreal.
Hello from Australia Stephen!
Awesome song mate. Very talented.
Keep it up. 😊
Great song. Great video. What a storyteller this man is. That walk while he uses his hands to express what he’s saying is absolutely brilliant! This guy is unreal!
Man I was sitting at work today scrolling through u tube and this blew my mind 😮
Billions brought me here
This song I found when searching “what song is about a nice man being the devil.” And this one video made me stop and notice. This young man has a message.
He reminds me so much of the Iconic Bruce Springsting style.
So relatable and connected to the average middle class in your lyrics.
Keep up with this style of music...love it.
👍🙏
Yes I agree !!!
I dont know how I stubbled onto your music but i beyone glad that i have. You sir, are amazing.
Another brilliant masterpiece of Americana Country Folk mucic at it finest level. Thank you so much Stephen !! From Steven in America's Dairyland Wi. ! Keep Twanging !

JT was here❤ thank you man you say what I couldn't every song is beautiful
AGAIN...WHAT a tune!
Love this guy, I just discovered him...yep...I cried a little, for some reason , he tells it like I see it.
His lyrics are something else
I can’t even begin to explain what this song means to me. Whatever led me to it, thank you.
🖤🖤 happy to do my part.
Seeing him in Manchester U.K tomorrow night and I can’t wait!!
WOW! The depth of these lyrics. Great production. Just the first two lines alone sent a shiver up my spine.
Incredible song. Everyone should hear this. If Springsteen had a child with a country girl...
SERIOUSLY UNDERRATED ARTIST!!! IF YOU WANT MUSIC THAT TOUCHES YOU WHERE YOU THOUGHT WAS BURNED OUT! THEN LISTEN TO THIS MAN. YOU WILL LOVE ALL❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘🤘 KEEP ROCKING STEPHEN YOU ARE LEGENDARY 😍
I need your tunes every morning! I was lost in the “Days of our Lives” for a few weeks and didn’t realize how much I missed you til now! You da best!
Heard this two years ago. Coming back from Billions. Still such a killer song.
So cool!! Respect from North of the Yankee's! = Canada!
Was Watching Billions S7 E4 and Stopped and paused the show. Just to replay it back so my phone could capture it and tell me what it is! Mesmerizing!! and Accurate. In his voice , I could hear Johnny Cash! , John Denver and Gregory Alan Isakov! All at once delivering a message! Mark my words, This song will go Viral! *Taylor Sheridan! Here is your next song for Yellowstone!!*
Why isn't he one of the greatest ever around I've listened to his music for a while now and all his songs are just gold f****** gold I would love to see him in concert does anybody know when he's performing next where
What a breath of fresh air!!!!
Here from billions ❤

Nice man, will be on the watch for more of you. Been a while since I listened to some country i really enjoyed.
