Deal With The Devil - Intellectual

[Intro]

(Hold on to the pieces of truth

That let me think this fucking business hasn’t wasted my youth)

Get up, get up

[Verse 1]

If you’re down on your luck

Let me see you put your fists up

And if you’re, done giving a fuck

Let me see you put your finger up

We’re the ones, paving the way

For the people telling us change day by day

All we want is to ease the pain

Until the money hungry fuckers come and take it away

[Chorus]

So I’ll, hold on to the pieces of truth

That let me think this fucking business hasn’t wasted my youth

I don’t miss this god damned sickness

It’s about the time to let go

[Verse 2]

I made a deal with the devil

Ain’t you heard?

I was made to think I was helpless

But I learned

To bow out and take my licks

But also that

Broken pride isn’t easily fixed

[Chorus]

So I’ll, hold on to the pieces of truth

That let me think this fucking business hasn’t wasted my youth

I don’t miss this god damned sickness

It’s about the time to let go

[Bridge]

Oh ain’t it like them

To tell you to give in?

Collapse with every line

Drowned in the industry sin

Oh ain’t it like them?

So god damn like them

To end your life before

You’re given the chance to begin

Ain’t it like them?

To write you off

To not get caught

Yeah ain’t it like them?

To write you off and not get caught

With the souls they bought

Well, I’ll take a pill just to scribble this fucking realness

And I’m down and I’m out about it

Just hoping that you fuckers feel this and

I’ve got a bill or two Just to be on some real shit

And I’m trying to be a man about it

But first I gotta kill this illness, damn

Oh don’t it feel so nice

Feeling sad for yourself

You know it’s bad for your health

But you do it anyway

[Chorus]

So I’ll, hold on to the pieces of truth

That let me think this fucking business hasn’t wasted my youth

I don’t miss this god damned sickness

It’s about the time to let go

[Outro]

I made a deal with the devil

Ain’t you heard?

Get up, get up
