lyrics

THE DEVIL AND I

I met a man down at the railroad tracks
As I sat and played guitar
He said now son let's have a little fun
And show them who we are
The first thought that crossed my mind
In Georgia I must lie
Men have sold their souls for less
To be as good as I
So on our way we go and play
The game's debauchery
It is fully possible he's been corrupted by me
We'll tempt the innocent to beer, and jack and sins of flesh
If you wanna see us raise some hell, can I get a hell yes?
HELL YES!

CHORUS
We drink and we fight
We stay up all night
We can't do nothing at all right
I don't care what you said to me
We will plead insanity

He takes three shots and does a line and smokes a little weed
That shit will knock you on your ass alcohol is all I need
Mary's where the night it peaks and sin is maximized
The sweat it runs on down their hips over their supple thighs
What night would be complete until we're on our knees and say
But not at church or to your God is it that we pray
Our deity is round and white and made of porcelain
It helps us as we struggle to relive our night again

The older that I seem to get
I see the error in my ways
What would all my heroes think
Including John McClane
I believe it's what alcoholics call
A moment of clarity
I'll live my life on the narrow and straight
And bleed sobriety
I'll never break the law and promise to follow all the rules
If you actually think I'll live this way
You are a fucking fool
I don't need your techno, rap, or manufactured MTV
Don't need all your mindless drones
That will blindly follow me
But if you want fun, drink, and music
And originality
Here's your choice:
Sweat on the mat or bleed on the street
Because we

CHORUS
Drink and we fight
We stay up all night
We can't do nothing at all right
I don't care what you said to me
We will plead insanity
