about

A meeting with the Devil, and an exchange of views....

lyrics

He came to me an old man
He said: "All you boys and girls
You waste away your younger years
In trying to change the world.
If you want to know the truth, boy
The truth of it is this
There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is

Ch: There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is
She likes the bit that's hers
He likes the bit that's his
You give them just enough to lose
Until they've something to miss
There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is."

He told me: "Hark at you
All holier than thou
You know you're going to lose
So sonny, make some money now
Or you'll only end up bitter
End up bitter over this
There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is."


Ch: There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is
She likes the bit that's hers
He likes the bit that's his
You give them just enough to lose
Until they've something to miss
There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is."

I said: "I know you think I'm beaten
But I promise you I aren't
See my Grandad always taught me
There's no such thing as can't
And the odds might be against me
But I like it like this
There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is."

Ch: "There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is
She likes the bit that's hers
He likes the bit that's his
You give them just enough to lose
Until they've something to miss
There's way too many people
Like the world the way it is."
