lyrics

The biggest lie the devil ever told is there's not enough to go around.
And we'll chew the bones that he cast down.
Water drippin' from a pool where he might drown.
No better time to break his horny crown.

The cruelest joke the devil ever told is that we can't stop the march of war.
That we all must live by the sword.
But he never tells us what we're fighting for.
No better time to show him to the door.

The hardest pill the devil ever took is that he needs us to survive.
That his power comes only from the hive.
And if we knew too he'd cease to be alive.
No better time for that day to arrive.
