Ugly Kid Joe是一支来自美国加州的摇滚乐队，成立于1990年。《Goddamn Devil》是乐队的代表作之一，歌曲所属的专辑名称为《America's Least Wanted》。 这首歌的创作背景有点特别，乐队成员说，他们每次去录音室之前，都会在一个加油站停车，附近有一家酒吧，酒吧常开放至凌晨，并常常有醉鬼在里面骂娘。这个经历启发了乐队成员创作这首歌中的“魔鬼”形象。同时，歌曲所表达的深层意义也是乐队成员面对自己的恶习和不良习惯所作的反思和自省。 关于吉他谱，这首歌的主要吉他部分是由低调的重复音符构成的，旋律相对简单，主要强调了节奏的重要性。对于初学者来说，这首歌是非常适合练习节奏感和颤音技巧的一首练习曲。 以下是这首歌的歌词，歌词表达了面对自己内心中的魔鬼，如何勇敢面对并承认自己的不良习惯和过错： Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the lord my soul to keep If I should die before I wake I pray the lord my soul to take I, I don't want to go to hell But if I do, it'll be 'cause of you And a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days I said a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days You, you've got everything in the world And I, I've got nothing to lose So I keep on living, I keep on giving Hoping somebody's gonna see (Laugh) I, I don't want to go to hell But if I do, it'll be 'cause of you And a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days I said a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days Young man, ain't got nothing in the world these days Don't you know I'm, I'm gonna live Don't you know I'm gonna give Don't you know I'm gonna find my way Don't you know I'm gonna live Don't you know I'm gonna give Don't you know I'm gonna find my way And I, I don't want to go to hell But if I do, it'll be 'cause of you And a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days I said a young man ain't got nothing in the world these days Young man ain't got nothing in the world these days Young man ain't got nothing in the world these days 歌词中不断重复的“young man ain't got nothing in the world these days”表达了乐队成员对自己所处环境和社会现实的反思和质疑。他们认为自己这一代年轻人被较老的一代人所束缚，毫无前途和自由。但是他们并没有放弃，通过自己的努力和不懈追求，希望能够找到自己的归属，找到自己的方向，最终逃离魔鬼的掌控。这也是这首歌的最大意义所在。
