That age old dance

Tired of it but I′m sure we'll dance it again

The world is that demanding friend

So scrape the bottom of this jar and spoon yourself thin

They′ll wear you out till you could give up the ghost

They'll give a nod and say "Hey, lean in real close"

They'll say, "if you could top me off

I know that can′t be all you got"

Give me just a drip of your soul

They want to hit you 'til your mind folds

If the devil sings a song and we don′t catch the chorus

Well, baby, believe me I think we're better off

Ears to hear and еyes to see, it seems we miss a lot

But baby, beliеve me, I think we′re better off

That real cruel hand

I wonder how you're always only bluffing again

Take heart in knowing that however you try

That one thing's for sure: the house takes the kit

And there′s a way that may seem right to a man

But they'll, catch you cold, roundabout

Hit that brake, you′ll come full out

All along convince, yeah, you were sold

They only want to make your mind fold

If the devil sings a song and we don′t catch the chorus

Well, baby, believe me I think we're better off

Ears to hear and eyes to see, it seems we miss a lot

But baby, believe me, I think we′re better off

If the devil throws a ball and you dance on the coals, well

That's your fault for going, you don't know where you're going

If the piper plays a tune and you just dance along, well

You don′t know who you′re following now

So break formation, break from the line

The dance they dance won't help you find

Any sort of help for your soul

They′re only taking nibbles out of your soul

If the devil sings a song and we don't catch the chorus

Well baby, believe me, I think we′re better off

Ears to hear and eyes to see it seems we miss a lot

But baby, believe me, I think we're better off

Ears to hear and eyes to see

Got ears to hear and eyes to see

But baby, believe me, I think we′re better off!
