Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler. Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler. Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler. Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler. Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler. Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler. Give satan an inch, and he'll become a ruler.
