Where The Devil Hides

The fumes of a modern wasteland choke the air

I asked where the Devil had gone and a business man pointed over there

I walked with a heavy heart and a sack full of soul

In the land of the city every man is stuck in a hole

Digging their way out away from the sun

A machine of suit and tie slaves ruled by the hand with the gun

They say cash is king but Johnny died in 2003

Trying to set the people in mental shackles free

But they didn't run, no

They had nowhere to go

So faceless windows on nameless streets remain the same

As hippies play against the government without knowing the game

Children become lost in the eyes of a TV screen

Cause they live in a world where the media reigns supreme

Where freedom hates it's own definition

And the oldest trees are marked for expansive demolition

So I journeyed into the heart of the beast 

Where the West is defined at the hands of the East

Where the Devil has no name 

And every song sounds the same

There's no warning sign when you arrive

But you can be sure as hell you won't leave completely alive

You're only as corrupt as you let them make you

But you and I know that's not true

Cause when the Devil comes to visit he'll be asking for pills

But you'll turn him down cause you've got to pay the bills

A needle for each vein

A different pill for each pain

So come along on a journey with me

And I'll show you where the Devil might be...
