Story behind the song
Maybe not what you think?
Lyrics
As I walk down these darkened streets NO light guides my way I see my brother he's down on his knees I see my sister there too Got my brother right beside me Got my sister on my back Oh the devil he made this world Yes the devil he made this world When God wasn't looking. Raise your vioces inb the big Sunday church choir Praise the lord go Higher nad higher Plastic Jesus and Bobblehead Christ Pass the plate and don't think twice Cheat your god with an empty mind Ill put my money on the end of the line. Oh God doesnt play dice with the world No God doesnt play dice with the world Only when hes smiling. Got my brother right beside me Got my sister on my back Got the nails and the hammer Got the Cross and the rack Got my brother right beside me Got my sister on my back Yes the devil he made this world When God wasn't looking. Got my brother right beside me Got my sister on my back Oh the devil he made this world Thank God for that Got my brother right beside me Got my sister on my back

Significant lyrical content. Carries a superb message for the masses. Brilliant vocal performance. Your unique voice reminds me of the BOSS; Bruce Springsteen. The Guitars…performed flawlessly, with great mix. Wonderful piece Roger.

Hi Roger, Very interesting lyrics. I have a keen interest in anything to do with the Devil. LOL! Definitely you are pointing out some real issues in our modern religion. I always get a kick out of Jimmy Swaggart crying his eyes out and asking for money so he can spend it in Vegas! I agree with Gabe you definitely have the Barry McGuire vocals and it supports your thought provoking lyrics very well.

Howdy Roger, Heavy!!!! (somethin' we used to say in the 60's) God just gave that ol Devil just enough leash to hang himself and to reel us back in....I think that was the intent. 8 ) Cool song, Rog!!!!! Mighty fine lyrics and I dig that melody!!!!!! Highest regards my friend, Wade
