The Devil and Me Lyrics
It’s been like this from the start
And will be till the end
For you’ve got to stay strong
And upon your self depend

Is there anything to believe in?
Any reason or rhyme?
We’ve all been hurt and let down
So many times after time

You know it’d true what they say
You can close your eyes
But it won’t go away
No, no, no, it won’t go away

There’s body’s up on the Moors
There’s ghosts on Cannock Chase
Satan obeys no laws
And he hides in ev’ry place

And where was God when I needed him
Away far out of town
Well as far as I’m concerned
The king has long lost his crown

You can hang the devil
You can hang his sons
But there’s always someone ready
To get their work done

You know it’d true what they say
You can close your eyes
But it won’t go away
No, no, no, it won’t go away

The devil’s like a cancer
That feeds upon your soul
When you’ve got him inside
You’ll never never be whole

So whenever you can do good deeds
Then you’ll walk in the sun
For there will never be peace
Until the battle is won

You know it’d true what they say
You can close your eyes
But it won’t go away
No, no, no, it won’t go away

You know it’d true what they say
You can close your eyes
But it won’t go away
No, no, no, it won’t go away
