You can pray you can fight You can get down on your knees every night You can’t save ‘em You can’t lift ‘em from turmoil You can’t reckon with the devil You can’t reckon with the devil
You can’t stop the train can’t block the lane They’ll throw the blame Oh the sorrow oh the shame
All you can do is hold out your hand Tell ‘em that you love ‘em and that you understand
They ain’t gonna listen They do what they want Cause everything that’s wrong Don’t you know it’s your fault
You can’t pray you can’t fight You can’t get down on your knees every night You can’t save ‘em You can’t lift ‘em from turmoil You can’t reckon with the devil You can’t reckon with the devil
Can’t stop the train Can’t block the lane They’ll throw the blame Oh the sorrow oh the shame
It’s like ice water running through your vein Your sweet soul is circling the drain
Everyone that loves you We all feel the same I know if I could I’d take away all your pain
I can’t pray I can’t fight I can’t get down on my knees every night I can’t save ‘em I can’t lift ’em from turmoil I can’t reckon with the devil No I can’t reckon with the devil
I can’t stop the train can’t block the lane They’ll throw the blame Oh the sorrow oh the shame
