"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...
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!!
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
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.
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 !!
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”
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.
Billions brought me here...the amazing talent kept me here
Thanks to Billions for introducing this to me. 🙂🙂🙂
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
Saw this man live at Country Thunder and had no clue who he was. Cant wait to catch him live again! Made some more fans!!!
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.....
I was scrolling through and came across you playing on TikTok you have a great sound I love your guitar picking and rhythm don’t let the big labels eat you up stay true to who you are 👍
Billions bought me here. Lovely song
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!
I absolutely love the clear grunge and 90s influence on midwest folk americana sound, it's incredible,
Yes! Stephen is phenomenal!
I, too, heard this song on "Billions". I had to have it. I don't know why this artist is not a country superstar!
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.
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
Looking forward to see you live!

Billions brought me here. Season 7 Episode 4. Beautiful song.
Billions brought me here....love these lyrics!!!
A Masterpiece. Enough said.
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.
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
Thank you Billions.
Dude. Unreal.
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
What a breath of fresh air!!!!
Incredibly well done across the board. Stephen, this is a masterpiece.
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!
Billions SO7 Episode 4 brought me here.
#Metoo
I, too, am here because of Billions. What a talent. Glad I found it!
I dont know how I stubbled onto your music but i beyone glad that i have. You sir, are amazing.
Man this guy is my go to !
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 💯✌️💚🍀🌎🍻
Billions brought me here
So cool!! Respect from North of the Yankee's! = Canada!
From billions season 7 ☕😎🚬
Heard your music for the first time this morning but I stopped to say, I hear you. Well done, sir .
One hell of a song love it
I've had the pleasure of seeing Stephen Wilson live a few times and he is an amazing talent. Pay attention to him.
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.
Billions brought me here! ✨✨✨✨✨
Hello from Australia Stephen!
Awesome song mate. Very talented.
Keep it up. 😊
To the people saying “all the new music is crap”
Look around. This is solid gold
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 !!!
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
Another great song I found from Billions ❤
If you just came from Billions gather here let's appreciate a legend
👋🤘
😊👍💯🙋♀️
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 !
Mit wenigen Worten, dank einer Serie, Augen zu....abschalten...genießen, DANKE DAFÜR!
Billions brought me here!!!!
Same! 👏🏻👍
I too 😊👍🙋♀️
Here from billions ❤
Thumbs up if you heard this for the first time in Billions S07E04
Heard this two years ago. Coming back from Billions. Still such a killer song.
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!
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.
Thank you for representing the collective soldiers of a time that is becoming faded and worn around the edges....we have been waiting for you
AGAIN...WHAT a tune!
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!!*
Heard this on Billions and it just blew me away, looked up your other stuff and it’s even better.
I dont know you but first off, I am truly sorry for your loss of your Father.
Second, I just want to say thankyou for your music. Your music is bringing hope and light into a dark as hell world. Truly, you are incredibly talented and your music is pure, real, and powerful. You are already in our hearts. Keep it up man, we need you.
Just saw Billions the series and this song and the voice at the end is on par. Awesome.
Billions. Good song for the episode.
Billions!!!
Billions get me here. And i LOVE it
I love this song so very much
Billions s7 is bringing us here
What an incredible artist!! Respect brother you hit the notes of the soul. Thank you
ashamed to say I only found this listening to Billions season 7 episode 4. Love it
What an amazing song, lyrics and voice is exceptionally good!! Great that there are artists like him around!
This Billions show will surly help more ppl to discover the artist
Dude, absolutely phenomenal. Truly excellent songwriting, singing, and music.
I'm so happy I decided to look this song up from Billions. You are incredible man, such a powerful song.
I can’t get over how good of a songwriter this man is. I feel like he was a fly on the wall in every aspect of my life and just decided to write about it. I sure I’m not the only one that can relate like this. A very profound writer who encapsulates how we grew up. He’s definitely my new favorite by a long shot. People that say people don’t write good music anymore just hasn’t heard this man yet.
Here from Billions episode 4 😄
Thanks to Billions. Without this I would never have come across this artist and song. Beautiful 👍💯🙋♀️
Billions!
Such a beautiful piece 👌
Absolutely epic talent…..unbelievable…just that good
Just heard this song on Billions. Damn, how did I miss this man? What a song, what a talented young man!
Well tiktok brought me here and I haven’t stopped listening and sharing with my friends. Sir, it’s so good to have found ya!!
