lyrics

THE ONLY DEVIL

They got you chasing ghosts
Got you praying to the lords of false hope
These days, seems kids can’t take the knocks
From three generations of dumb-as-rocks.
My own personal cinder block
Is you telling me what I ain’t got.
Ain’t no amount of Zen in the world
Gonna take the hate off that.

Statue of Liberty
All the huddled masses yearning to be free
Or not
You got buyer’s remorse
Wished you’d chanined your cart to another horse
The more you fear, the more you tolerate
The trigger finger don’t discriminate,
Ain’t no amount of Zen in the world
Gonna take the hate off that.

Pre:
Your double-dealing got you safe and sound, for now.
I’m gonna meet you on the way back down.

Chorus:
Don’t bring me no bad tidings, baby
What can a poor boy do?
Don’t talk of demons rising, baby,
The only devil is you
The devil is you.

Oxyacetylene
There ain’t no crowns but everyone’s a king
Cashing their chips, trying to make a deal
While there’s trouble in the world of false appeal.
You may think I’m the devil, well
It’s just because I’ve lived in hell
Ain’t no amount of Zen in the world
Gonna take the hate off that.


Pre, chorus.
