Old Devils

The old devils are at it again
Who knows what they'll doAnd its true right now like it was back then
The old devils are at it againFrom behind these bars the view don't change
Desperation, death and despairFrom what little I hear of the outside world
Well its not to different out thereAnd they tell me there's a war without no end
The old devils are at it againThey died by the millions, children, women and men
The old devils are at it againWhen I say devils, you know who I mean
These animals in the darkMalicious politicians with nefarious schemes
Charlatans and crooked copsMoonshine still gets you five to ten
The old devils are at it againStripes on your back and a ball and chain
The old devils are at it againTwo men stare out of prison bars
Wondering what got um hereOne saw mud but the other saw stars
Praying that the end is nearThe billboard outside says confess your sins
The old devils are at it againI guess I will confess that I've been suffering
The old devils are at it againI said the old devils are at it again
Who knows what they'll doAnd its true right now like it was back then
The old devils are at it againI said the old devils are at it again
