Repayment

The devil wants a payment, and the angels need a check. And the world keeps saying their ain’t no cash to get So, you reach for the savings that your people won't release Then you look to the heavens and the floor beneath your feat Screaming lordy lordy where's my money gone Then the thunder and the lighting and the water begins to come Cause the devil wants a payment and the angels need a check And the world keeps saying their ain’t no cash to get Yet the people in the government are staying filthy rich hoping that their proposals begin without a glitch The workman in the cities coughing up a lung Their eking out a living b/c repayment has begun Our children are on the corners peddling out their wares Keeping eyes to the ground avoiding others stare The devil wants a payment, and the angels need a check And the world keeps saying their ain’t no cash to get Our saviors at the white house just keep babbling on Claiming that their there for us, when really they are gone Out proving some new theory that they really do not know Claiming its existence, if we give it time to grow Cause the devil wants a payment and the angels need a check And the world keeps saying their ain’t no cash to get
