Try Like the Devil Songtext
von Stan Rogers

So it′s come to the alley
And playing in bars
A-coming on to the hustlers
And the old burned out stars
With the demons on my shoulders
Smiling to show me the way

Now there's one for ambition
And another for greed
Oh, here′s a big one, he's a drunkard
And the easiest to feed
It takes a poor man to ignore them
A rich man to drive them away

No more fakin' (No fakin′)
I don′t dare care anyway

I can't find an answer
I look for one everywhere


I′ll keep my head down (Keep my head down)
And smile when they sell me
I'll play where they tell me
And I′ll try like the devil
To keep the demons away

Now it's so tantalizing
This little smell of success
The monkey demon keeps me screaming
And he won′t let me rest
Oh, someone won't you listen
And help drive the demons away

Woah, no more fakin' (No fakin′)
I don′t dare care anyway

I can't find an answer
I look for one everywhere
I′ll keep my head down (Keep my head down)
And smile when they sell me
I'll play where they tell me
And I′ll try like the devil
To keep the demons away

Woah, try like the devil
To keep the demons away
