I was a greedy wealthy man once upon a time I made a deal with the Devil a long-long time ago He said he could make me live forever but there'd be a debt I'd owe So I agreed to pay him everyday in return for eternal breath But if I would miss a day and not pay I'd die And I'd go straight to hell upon my death.
Each day at dusk I go down to the wishing well out in the woods I drop down my pay for another day just like I promised I would Devil or not we made a deal and we both keep each end of our deal good And maybe I shouldn't cheat death quite like I do And then again maybe I should...
Six hundred dollar bills, three twenties, a five, and a one Six franklins, three jacksons, a lincoln, and a washington The price I pay for life, my debt for one more day Dollars for the Devil... So death will stay away.
I've seen almost everything there's been to see since the dawn of man I've seen empires rise before my eyes and then fall again and again Times of war and piece, good times and bad, I've witnessed all first-hand And now that I see the shitty shape our world is in today I think I've seen all I can stand
So I don't think I'll pay today although I know it'll make me dead Rather than drop my dues down the well I'll just jump down myself instead This world gets worse with every minute, this world's already lost I've seen enough I'll end my deal and go to hell Because I'll be much better off
Six hundred dollar bills, three twenties, a five, and a one Six franklins, three jacksons, a lincoln, and a washington The price I pay for life, forever every day But today will be my last 'cause I'm not gonna stay Yes I've made up my mind, I decide to die So hell, here I come, I'm on my way
I see Satan smile as he waits for me bellow He was a step ahead of me the day we made our deal so ago I wonder if I'm the only one who made the same deal that day If so it's all my fault, he made our world decay Because he knew he'd gain another soul that way
