《The Devil You Know》歌词

[00:00:00] The Devil You Know - Todd Snider
[00:00:10] Helicopters over the house again
[00:00:12] We got the projects two or three blocks from here
[00:00:15] They pull the kids over for driving while african
[00:00:17] And the ones with the warrants always run in fear
[00:00:20] So i sit here waiting for the coast to clear
[00:00:23] Wishing once again i had a gun around here
[00:00:26] Turn on the news and what do i hear
[00:00:28] Some kid shot the bank up on gallatin road
[00:00:31] Ran away from the cops while he was trying to reload
[00:00:34] He beat them up to eastland street on feet
[00:00:37] Now he's probably reloaded and running down my street
[00:00:40] Better turn the alarm on and lock myself in
[00:00:42] Helicopters over the house again
[00:00:45] Sometimes you rise above it
[00:00:51] Sometimes you sneak below
[00:00:57] Somewhere in between believing in heaven
[00:01:03] And facing the devil you know
[00:01:17] Poor kid probably never had a chance to give a f**k
[00:01:20] Wouldn't know good luck from a debutant
[00:01:22] He's gotta find a way to be steve mcnair or young buck
[00:01:25] Or he's just tough luck looking for a prison to haunt
[00:01:28] And you can f**k getting any kind of job you want
[00:01:31] Unless you really want to work in a fast food restaraunt
[00:01:33] And who wants to do that do you want to do that
[00:01:37] I wouldn't trade that for my crooked hat
[00:01:39] Or my gang or my gun or my waist full of pagers
[00:01:42] For a job deep frying sh*t for richer teen agers
[00:01:45] If that's where it's at and no one's gonna help
[00:01:48] How you gonna blame a man for helping himself
[00:01:50] There's a war going on that the poor can't win
[00:01:53] Helicopters over the house again
[00:01:56] Sometimes you rise above it
[00:02:01] Sometimes you sneak below
[00:02:07] Somewhere in between believing in heaven
[00:02:13] And facing the devil you know
[00:02:51] Black and white cops shining lights in the bushes
[00:02:53] Can't see how this kid is gonna get very far
[00:02:55] Unless he finds a way to make it back over to barry street
[00:02:58] And he can't do that unless he steals a car
[00:03:01] Man the way things are they just don't seem right
[00:03:04] All the white people talking 'bout the hope and the light
[00:03:07] There ain't no hope in sam levy just guns and drugs
[00:03:09] We ain't building bridges we're just training thugs
[00:03:13] Then i hear a terrifying kick at my back door
[00:03:15] And in comes this kid i say hey i've seen this kid before
[00:03:18] I see him all the time at that bar on woodland street
[00:03:21] Now he's bleeding in my kitchen tracking mud off his feet
[00:03:24] And he's looking at me like i'll either help him or die
[00:03:27] Until he sees in my eyes that i'm on his side
[00:03:29] I hand him my keys i say you better move fast
[00:03:32] There's a J in the ashtray and plenty of gas
[00:03:35] He throws me the cash and says i'll be back for this
[00:03:38] I say yeah well don't be surprised if theres' a little bit of it missing
[00:03:43] His gold teeth glistened with a big old grin
[00:03:46] He said we'll talk about that when i see you again
[00:03:49] He shook my hand i shook his back
[00:03:51] I felt like i was about to have a heart attack
[00:03:53] Until he finally drove away i thought goddamn
[00:03:54] Helicopters over the house again
[00:03:57] Sometimes you rise above it
[00:04:03] Sometimes you sneak below
[00:04:08] Somewhere in between believing in heaven
[00:04:14] And facing the devil you know
