The Devil's Gonna Let You Down
Defying Devils: A Musical Rebellion Unveiled
Lyrics
I ain't got the time, for this sentence I face
I don't have the time to deal with the consequences I'm facing.
They'll come in with their forces, and they'll cut down both your legs, baby they won't stop
Powerful entities or forces will act ruthlessly, causing severe harm, and won't relent.
If you see your brother, cuffed and bleeding out
If you witness your sibling restrained and severely injured,
Well you know what you gotta do son, you gotta shoot them bad men down, lordy don't stop
You must take action, likely through force, against those causing harm without hesitation.
The Devil, Devil's gonna let you down
The Devil will disappoint or betray you.
No don't you turn your head away
Don't ignore or avoid the situation.
The Fascists dress in red, the yellow-bellies they wear blue
Those in power or oppressive groups, symbolized by different colors, exploit people's labor before turning against them.
They'll live off all your sweat before they come for me and you, baby they won't stop
Before targeting us, they benefit from our hard work, and their actions won't cease.
And if you see us hanging, far up off that ground
If you witness us being hung or persecuted,
Well you know what you gotta do son, you gotta shoot them bad men down, lordy don't stop
You're urged to respond decisively against those responsible for the injustice without hesitation.
The Devil, Devil's gonna let you down
The Devil will disappoint or betray you once again.
No, lord no, lord no
Strongly emphasizes the refusal or denial of something undesirable.
The Devil, Devil's gonna let you down
The Devil will let you down or fail you.
No don't you turn your head away
Do not ignore or avoid facing the reality of this situation.
The Devil, Devil's gonna let you down
The Devil will disappoint or betray you once more.
No, lord no, lord no
Strongly emphasizes the refusal or denial of something undesirable.
