Devil Running
Chasing Shadows: Unveiling the Devil's Run in John Butler Trio's Anthem
Lyrics
A sun does rise from distant lands
A new day begins from distant places
Tears run and fires burning
Tears flow, and fires are ablaze
He finds first place with dirty hands
He achieves a prominent position with unclean hands
He graduates man without learning
He becomes a mature person without gaining wisdom
Agenda set
An agenda was established long ago
So long ago
This individual is a puppet with a master
This son's a puppet with a master
The hands remain still by his side
The hands stand still right by his side
Middle finger poised on the button of disaster
Middle finger on the button of disaster
Many of us passively observe, like an elderly woman witnessing a theft
And most of us we stand and watch
Time to actively engage, not just be spectators
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
Similar to an old lady witnessing a handbag theft
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
Advocating for the pursuit of criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running
The speaker perceives evil, and it is on the run
Bad buisness ties turn out sour
Unhealthy business connections lead to negative outcomes
Backstabbed man nothing forgotten
A betrayed individual never forgets
And in an unforgotten hour
In a memorable moment, consequences unfold
Seeds fall from an apple rotten
Consequences of a corrupted origin
Now hate and fear have thier own way
Hate and fear gain influence
And don't the scum just love the distraction
The corrupt enjoy distractions that divert attention
Black blood will need to be lanced
Corruption needs to be exposed
And when it's found you just blame
When discovered, blame is placed on the guilty party
The guilty faction
The responsible faction is held accountable
And now it's time not just to watch
It's time to act, not merely observe
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
Similar to an old lady witnessing a handbag theft
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
Advocating for the pursuit of criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running
The speaker perceives evil, and it is on the run
And now it's time not just to watch
It's time to act, not merely observe
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
Similar to an old lady witnessing a handbag theft
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
Advocating for the pursuit of criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running
The speaker perceives evil, and it is on the run
And now it's time not just to watch
It's time to act, not merely observe
Like old lady getting handbag stolen
Similar to an old lady witnessing a handbag theft
It's time to chase, chase them criminals
Advocating for the pursuit of criminals
I see the devil and the devil is running
The speaker perceives evil, and it is on the run
