The John Butler Trio
"Devil Running"


a sun does rise in distance lands
tears run and fires burning
he finds first place, dirty hand
he graduates man with out learning
a gender set so long ago
the sons a puppet with a master
the hands stand still right by his side
with a finger on the button 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

that business ties turn out sour
back stab man nothing forgotten
and wind and none forgotten now
seeds fall from an apple rotten

now hate and fear head the wrong way
and though this scum is the other distraction
black blood will need to be lanced
and when its found you just blame the guilty faction

And now its 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

And now its time not to just watch
like old lady getting handbag stolen
it's time to chase, chase them criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running

Evil Man
Evil Man
Evil Man

And now its time not to just watch
like old lady gettting handbag stolen
it's time to chase, chase them criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running

And now its time not to just watch
like old lady gettting handbag stolen
it's time to chase, chase them criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running
