You've Got the Devil Left to Pay Year: 2000
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)
you could almost see it coming
if your senses served you right
you almost drew the bead true
it was pretty close not quite
and you almost got the shot off
in time to save the day
you've still got the devil left to pay
you've still got the devil left to pay
well earthly powers fail you
your body strength is sapped
that little break you were looking for
never fell into your lap
and the voice is what you trusted
but the eyes had final say
you've still got the devil left to pay
you've still got the devil left to pay
streets are cold and vacant
like the heart inside of you
and God He seems so distant
behind a blood red hue
those wages you are slaving for
are something you can't see
and you've still got the devil left to pay
you've still got the devil left to pay
you've still got the devil
Did You Know?
Bill has labeled this a "protest song."
