Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music?
Words and Music by Larry Norman
on Only Visiting This Planet
Copyright 1972


I want the people to know that He saved my soul
But I still like to listen to the radio
They say rock-n-roll is wrong,
we'll give you one more chance
I say, "I feel so good I've gotta get up and dance."


I know what's right,
I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it
All I'm really trying to say is,
"Why should the devil have all the good music?"

I feel good every day,
'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away


They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain
But sometimes people don't understand 
What's a good boy doing in a rock-n-roll band


There's nothing wrong with playing blues licks
But if you've got a reason tell me to my face,
"Why should the devil have all the good music?"


There's nothing wrong with what I play,
'cause Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away


I ain't knocking the hymns,
just give me a song that has a beat
I ain't knocking the hymns,
just give me a song that moves my feet
I don't like none of those funeral marches,
I ain't dead yet!

Jesus told the truth, and Jesus showed the way
There's one more thing I'd like to say
They nailed him to the cross
and they laid him in the ground

But they should have known you
can't keep a good man down
I feel good every day I don't want to lose it
All I wanna, all I wanna know is,
"Why should the devil have all the good music?"

I've been filled I feel okay

Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues
Jesus is the rock and he rolled my blues away
