Lyrics
In a world of deceivers, can't find no believers
Could it be that there's none of them left?
Now dumped in a river when I was delivered
The doctor, he cursed me under his breath
Sayin' boy, just be thankful you're breathin'
Don't be wishin' for no one to care
Boy, you won't ever get even
There ain't no place for that around here
There ain't no place for that around here
Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck?
In a world full of others, can't find me a brother
Could it be I'm a bastard or worse?
Was left here to suffer by my starvin' mother
My father, he hung on the day of my birth
Tell me boy, just be thankful you're breathin'
Don't be wishin' for no one to love
Boy, don't be thinkin' of thievin'
You'll pay for your sins below or above
You'll pay for your sins below or above
In a life full of trouble that's never been subtle
You could say I'm the prince of all pain
'Coz heartache's a kingdom I'd have wealth and dominion
And all of my debts, they would surely be paid
Boy, just be thankful you're breathin'
Don't be wishin' for no one to care
There ain't no way to get even
There ain't no place for that around here
Why the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Why the devil always got his foot on my neck?
Thought I could bargain with the father of lies
I tried to make my peace on the edge of a knife
So why am I so surprised to be playin' with fire?
Got hell to pay the fiddler when the deal expires
Get your foot off my neck
Get your foot off my neck
Get your foot up off my neck
Get your foot up off my neck
