|
Down below, down below |
|
Caught the devil talking to his son |
|
Who wanted to go up above, up above |
|
He cried, "It's getting to warm for me down here and so, |
|
I'm going up to Earth where I can have a little fun." |
|
The devil slowly smiled and then he answered his son |
|
*Chorus* |
|
"Stay down here where you belong |
|
The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong |
|
To please their king, they've all gone out to war |
|
And not one of them knows what he's fighting for |
|
Way up above they say that I'm a devil and I'm bad |
|
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad |
|
Breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers of their brothers |
|
You'll find more heat up there than there is down below" |
|
"Kings up there, they don't care |
|
For the mothers who must stay at home, their troubles to bear |
|
Stay at home, don't you roam |
|
Although it's warm down here, it's warmer up there |
|
If you go way up there, my son, I know you'll be surprised |
|
You'll find a lot of people who are not civilized" |
|
*Chorus* |
