John Butler Trio - Devil Running lyrics

A sun does rise from distant lands Tears run and fires burning He find first place with dirty hands He graduates man without learning. Agenda set So long ago This son's a puppet with a master The hands stand still right by his side Middle finger on the bu*ton of disaster. And most of us we stand and watch Like old lady getting handbag stolen It's time to chase, chase them criminals I see the devil and the devil is running. Bad business ties turn out sour Backstabbed man nothing forgotten And in an unforgotten hour Seeds fall from an apple rotten. Now hate and fear have their own way And don't the scum just love the distraction Black blood will need to be lanced And when it's found you just blame the guilty faction. And now it's time not just to watch Like old lady getting handbag stolen It's time to chase, chase them criminals I see the devil and the devil is running [x2]
