Our devils still tend to play the best tunes,
a string to a hearts harp, but what else is new?
A song so promising, however whats to be had?
For all you are is stones to those that beg for bread.
Rising tides lift all boats, still sordid sides crush small hopes.
You promised them salvation, you lead they would be fed yet
all you are is stones to those that beg for bread.
An ape's an ape, a varlet's a varlet,
though they be clad in the silk or the scarlet.
Don't stretch farther than your sleeve will reach,
you'll show all your cards, eat all you preach.
We've set our beggars out on horseback,
and to no surprise they've ridden straight to the Devil.
"For its better to sell out than to rust out;"
a call for all open deals to settle.
For all you are is stones to those that beg for bread.
