Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cause were walking to the devil's beat And it's trying to bring us down. Well the devil's get us rolling a six-sided dice And it's burning up the oils and melting down the ice And the bank tills are ringing to through tune of war Do you ever wonder what it is we're fighting for? Oh it don't feel so good when the sun don't shine Oh we gotta leave this place leave it all behind Oh before I lose my head and I lose my mind Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cause were walking to the devil's beat And it's trying to bring us down. Sweet mother nature's such a lonely girl What's she gonna do when we sell the world Time will only tell if the prophecy's true Has the devil got the beat or has the beat got you. Oh it don't feel so good when the sun don't shine Oh we gotta leave this place leave it all behind Oh before I lose my head and I lose my mind Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cause were walking to the devil's beat And it's trying to bring us down. Come on and help me get my feet back to solid ground Cause were walking to the devil's beat And it's trying to bring us down. Oh it don't feel so good when the sun don't shine Oh we gotta leave this place leave it all behind Oh before I lose my head and I lose my mind Help me get my feet back to solid ground Cause were walking to the devil's beat And it's trying to bring us down.
