Shout to the Devil

Lyrics

"Son," said the preacher "'Fore I break the news"
 "Let me take you to the heart of this promised land"
 Built on the green hill far away
 Where somebody died, somebody cried in the wind
 You don't have to run to the palaces of gold
 Bricks and mortar one day must surely fall
 He will look Monroe right between the eyes
 And pray that somehow
 Someone's gonna come along and save her
 Save her soul
 And we're gonna shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Preacher (preacher), teacher (teacher)
 Preacher (preacher), teacher (teacher)
 It's in my heart and it's in the soul
 Look no further than your own backyard
 Live your life as it should be lived
 Follow your heart for the truth is everlasting
 ♪
 And the wine runs cold in the blood of men
 The bread is dry, stale pushed in the back of your mind
 And the senator's dream is running wild today
 And the big duke's star in death
 Still fighting off the hounds of hell
 And we all fall short of the glory my friend
 Even all the king's horses and all the king's business men
 I've got a golden eagle flying high
 But I and I still find it hard to keep the wolves at bay, ah-woo!
 And we're gonna shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Preacher (preacher)
 Teacher (teacher)
 Preacher (preacher)
 Teacher (teacher)
 It's in my heart and it's in the soul
 Look no further than your own backyard
 Live your life as it should be lived
 Follow your heart for the truth is everlasting, yeah
 And we're gonna shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Preacher (shout to the devil)
 (Gonna shout to the sky)
 (Shout to the gods almighty high)
 (Shout to the devil)
 (Gonna shout to the sky)
 (Shout to the gods almighty high)
 Teacher (shout to the devil)
 (Gonna shout to the sky)
 (Shout to the gods almighty high)
 I'm gonna shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Shout to the devil
 Gonna shout to the sky
 Shout to the gods almighty high
 Preacher (shout to the devil)
 (Gonna shout to the sky)
 (Shout to the gods almighty high)
 It is finished
