Keep The Devil Outside - Strawbs

As for the help you called for

Nobody seemed to answer

The difference in man is no more

Than being a priest or dancer

See men of power in recess

They really don’t know what they’re after

They drink to the things that they see best

And drown in the tears of their laughter

If you see fit to fight

Whether you’re black or white

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

You’ve been given your name and your number

Right from when you were a baby

I look at the earth and I wonder

What have they done to her lately?

If you see fit to fight

Whether you’re black or white

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

Love dies hard…

You will never hear me say

That the world will not see again today

See a better day

If you see fit to hide

Mistakes of the men that died

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

If you see fit to fight

Whether you’re black or white

How many hope to keep the devil outside?

How many hope to keep the devil outside?
