The devil is real. And, like God, he gets downplayed and misrepresented a lot. Many Christians seem to believe that God gives it all. If your loved one dies unexpectedly it must be the will of God. The devil is real.
Actually, the dead song friend of the devil is playing "God's advocate" if you will. Compare it with Stones' sympathy for the devil. In that song, the devil is in the first person trash talking at humanity daring anyone to try to knock him off his perch. In the dead song this 'friend of the devil' is a fugitive from jail, he's got a broken heart over a woman, and he considers it a good day if he gets any sleep. With friends like that....
Or it could be a spiritual version of Stockholm syndrome. The captor is the devil and you will suffer for him and you will like it!
Oh Lordy! If the devil finds out we know the greatest secret in the world today and suspects we might tell someone else....Well, there's no telling what he might do.

I like the common sense choice, "Because he is evil." Makes sense to me!
Me, I had to be a smart @$$ and choose
"Because you are dumb enough to listen to TWI leadership"
