To Beat the Devil Lyrics
if you waste your time talking
to the people who don't listen
to the things that you are saying
who do you think's gonna hear?
& if you should die explaining how
the things that they complain about
are things they could be changing
who do you think's gonna care?
there were other lonely singers
in a world turned deaf & blind
who were crucified for what they tried to show
& their voices have been scattered
by the swirling winds of time
cause the truth remains that no one wants to know
& you still can hear me singing
to the people who don't listen
to the things that I am saying
praying someone's gonna hear
& I guess I'll die explaining how
the things that they complain about
are things they could be changing
hoping someone's gonna care
I was born a lonely singer
& I'm bound to die the same
but I've gotta feed the hunger in my soul
& if I never have a nickel
I won't ever die ashamed
cause I don't believe that no one wants to know
to the people who don't listen
to the things that you are saying
who do you think's gonna hear?
& if you should die explaining how
the things that they complain about
are things they could be changing
who do you think's gonna care?
in a world turned deaf & blind
who were crucified for what they tried to show
& their voices have been scattered
by the swirling winds of time
cause the truth remains that no one wants to know
to the people who don't listen
to the things that I am saying
praying someone's gonna hear
& I guess I'll die explaining how
the things that they complain about
are things they could be changing
hoping someone's gonna care
& I'm bound to die the same
but I've gotta feed the hunger in my soul
& if I never have a nickel
I won't ever die ashamed
cause I don't believe that no one wants to know
