LYRICS
IT HAPPENED AT THE MALL.
THE GRAND FINALE
OF STRANGER THINGs.
the KID in me REMEMBERS
HOW IT FEELS...

TO BE GROWN- BUT NOT ENOUGH.
FOR A CHILD WHO STARTS TO SEE
THE BLOSSOM OF A LIFE
JUST BEGINNING.

SO TAKE ME TO THE MALL
AND WASH ME IN THE STREAM.
THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS BABY.

SEND THE CHILDREN- off to war.
DRAFTED BY poverty.
THE SENATORS SON IS
SAFELY SOUND ASLEEP...

aw BUT LET US FORGET THE WAR.
AND BUY SOMETHING PRETTY.
CHANGE THE CHANNEL-
CREATE THE ILLUSION OF REAL SAFETY.

THE LORD IS AT THE MALL
AND THE DEMONS ARE IN THE TREES.
THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS BABY.

GROWING UP…AT THE MALL
AMIDST THE FRUITS OF SLAVERY.
WE ALL STAND COMPLICIT IN
THE GREED.

GOING TO SEPHORA
TO FIND A DIFFERENT FACE.
WITH ENOUGH PAINT
I'LL DISAPPEAR WITHOUT A TRACE.

FROM THE TV… I LEARNED IT ALL.
AND I PRACTICE WHAT THEY PREACH.
THE APPLE DON’T FALL FAR
FROM THE TREE.

IM UPLOADING MY HEART AND SOUL
AS THis WORLD SINKS INTO THE SEA.
THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS BABY.

I HAVE NO WORD FOR GOD.
IM DOWN ON BENDED KNEE.
PRAYING TO WHOEVER
MIGHT COULD SAVE ME.

LOOK BEYOND MY EYES
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.
CAN YOU SEE THE TRUTH
BEYOND THE FEAR?

THO FLEETING THEY MAY SEEM
OUR THOUGHTS AND OUR DEEDS
ARE CARVED IN STONE AND STEEL
FOR ALL TO SEE.

LOOK BACK ON OUR ACTIONS…
WILL WE EVER BE REDEEMED?
THE DEVIL’S IN THE DETAILS BABY.
