Devil's In The Details

[Verse] There was a time not long ago A desperate man named John Doe With a big dream and a bad job Couldn't stand the thought of working 9 to 5 his whole life One night He met a man Said he could give him a hand The devil came down and said "Sign here on the dotted line Your wildest dreams are realized" [Prechorus] And before he knew it His name was in lights And his songs were sung on Saturday nights [Chorus] But the devil's in the details He didn't read 'em Don't sign the contract if you don't know the secrets Fame and fortune ain't all that they seem When you give your soul away to chase a dream So be careful 'cause the devil's in the details [Verse 2] John Doe was doing alright On top of the world and living the high life Money Women Fame And drugs Until he lost the things he loved He didn't see it coming And he couldn't run from it And just like that He was Out of luck and out of money No one cared or loved him [Prechorus] And before he knew it He was gone His light faded and the flame was gone [Chorus] But the devil's in the details He didn't read 'em Don't sign the contract if you don't know the secrets Fame and fortune ain't all that they seem When you give your soul away to chase a dream So be careful 'cause the devil's in the details
