The Devil dogged me Since I was a boy Some rich man's servant Somebody's toy I've been bent But I never broke I've been spent, Lord But I never lost all my hope Hellfire and damnation Spiritual ruination Look behold the desolation The whole thing's an abomination Hellfire and damnation I smell it on the breeze Hear the hounds of hell Coming after me If I should die Before I wake I would be glad To leave this place This place where gods Madе up by men Made men forget, Lord Made men forget their better sense Oh my my my I don't want to see no more Rich riding on the poor I don't want to see no Don't want to see no more Hellfire and damnation Spiritual ruination Look behold the desolation The whole thing's an abomination The whole damn thing's an abomination
