Am C Am E7
And it's trying to bring us down!
Am C Am E
Well, the Devil's got us rolling a six-sided dice,
Am C Am E7
And it's burning up the oil, and melting down the ice,
Am C Am E
And the bank tills are ringing to the tune of war!

Do you ever wonder what it is we're fighting for?

Oh, oh - oh, oh, before I loose my head, and I loose my mind!
Am C Am E Am C Am E7
Help me get my feet... back to solid ground,

Oo, sweet Mother Nature's such a lonely girl,
Am C Am E7
What's she gonna do when we sell the world?
Am C Am E
Time will only tell, if the prophecy's true,
Am C Am E7
Has the Devil got the beat, or has the beat got you?
Dm7 G C F
Oh, oh - oh, oh! It don't feel so good when the sun don't shine,
