Devil's riff

peel away run and hide
the terror rides from the midst of heavy hits
still here telling lies
tales fly off the edge of busy lips

passed on the release date
last call said the chief of the rotating stiffs
a hack popster police state
the man's lost
searching for the devil's riff

rock strategist
crowned eletist
stop the speeches
now competing

still there goin live
analyzing each law making grid
you still here tell me why
waste time when you should be trading licks

mass boredom a weak state
blast off in a rocket full of waning twits
crap follows the cheap made
best off sleeping with the devil's riff

nobody can be a nobody alone
more bodies a heep of nobodys c'mon

peel away run and hide
the terror rides from the midst of heavy hits
you still here tell me why
spending life looking for the devil's riff
