The Devil Game - Kansas

I’ve got books that say the good man’s golden

And more that say the bad will fall

So many men have drowned in evil, and left Lucifer standing tall

Don’t take the devil’s dare, don’t gamble when the game ain’t fair

Lock and bolt the doors, can’t let the devil use you anymore

You got to listen all you mugs and reivers, if you do any wrong

You make it right

You can’t be a make-believer, 'cause soon you’re gonna pay the price

Lying, hate and pain, all part of the devil game

Got his foot inside the door, but you can’t let him use you anymore

Take, he will take, he will take, give him nothing he’ll take, he will take

He will take, he will give nothing but he’ll take

Pray, for devils have no reason, Satan waits to curse your ways

Have you seen it in his eyes in the sunset

Have you wondered if he’s laughing when you play

Has he asked if you’re alone if what he sees is all you own

Has he offered you happiness, money, or much better lays

Satan leave me, leave me lonely, leave us alone

I’ve got books that say the good man’s golden

And more that say the bad will fall

Take a look at what the future’s holdin'

Won’t be yours if you don’t heed this call

Life is a game, and the stakes will remain the same

Now you’ve gotta choose, is the devil gonna win or lose again
