Satan Has a Heart of Gold Lyrics

Mama says Satan's got a heart of gold
Papa says Jesus got a heart of stone, yeah
Everyone says I got a heart of stone
But Satan says I got a heart of gold

I know the truth
I know the truth
I know the truth
I know the truth

(2x)

Mama says Satan's got a heart of gold
Papa says Jesus got a heart of stone, yeah
Everyone says I got a heart of stone
But Satan says I got a heart of gold

I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em
I know the truth and I believe 'em

Mama says Satan's got a heart of gold
Mama says Satan's got a heart of gold
Mama says Satan's got a heart of gold
Mama says Satan's got a heart of gold

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I like this song a lot for its ambiguity. The song is about some dude who is torn between whether he is an inherently good or bad person. At first I thought it was more clear cut, because I thought the ending of the song said "I know the truth and I believe him." I thought that meant the narrator agreed with Satan that he had avarice in his heart. That coupled with the ending lines about Satan seemed to imply that. But now that I hear it more and read these lyrics, "I believe 'em" can mean either Satan who believes he is evil or "Everyone" who thinks he is a good person. It sounds like "'em" or "him," really. And so only the narrator knows the truth, and I like the song because of that mystery.
