gettin’ down the road<br \/>\nBeen broke for quite a spell<br \/>\nWhen I came across the devil<br \/>\nDown by the wishin’ well.<br \/>\nHe said, “Hey boy, come lemme sell ya’<br \/>\nI got a deal you can’t refuse<br \/>\nI’m gonna’ solve all your problems,<br \/>\nGonna’ end your worldly blues.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">He said, Now I can get ya’ money,<br \/>\nGet ya’ power, get ya’ fame.<br \/>\nI can get any woman ya’ want<br \/>\nTo beg down and cry your name.<br \/>\nYeah, I can get ya’ all ya’ ask for,<br \/>\nAnd all you gotta’ do,<br \/>\nIs to kick back and enjoy it<br \/>\nAnd quit lookin’ for the truth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I said, Well hey there, Mr. Devil<br \/>\nMaybe I can be sold<br \/>\n‘Cause harps, halos and streets o’ gold<br \/>\nMust get pretty old.<br \/>\nBut I think I’ll take my chances.<br \/>\nI’m gettin’ closer to the truth<br \/>\nAnd I’m gonna find some answers<br \/>\nBefore I sell out to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">He said, Well boy, then let me bet ya’<br \/>\nI get your soul if you don’t win<br \/>\nBut if I lose you get everything you want<br \/>\nAnd I’ll overlook all your sins<br \/>\nIt’s just a friendly little wager<br \/>\nBut the truth you must deduce<br \/>\nIs it Krishna, Marx, Mohammed,<br \/>\nBuddha, Jesus Christ or Zeus?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I said, You got a deal, Mr. Devil<br \/>\nShook his hand and tried to think<br \/>\nThen I said, Let’s head on into town<br \/>\nI’m gonna’ buy you a drink.<br \/>\nI’m gonna’ answer by example<br \/>\n‘Cause in my own personal view<br \/>\nThe only thing makes any sense<br \/>\nIs the good old Golden Rule.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Yeah, it’s those dogmatised opinions<br \/>\nDraggin’ down Humankind.<br \/>\nKeepin’ people in their places<br \/>\nStickin’ dogma in their lives.<br \/>\nLike in the Middle East and Ireland<br \/>\nThey all got God on their side,<br \/>\nAnd they justify their killin’<br \/>\n‘Cause God says, It’s all right<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The devil said, That ain’t no answer, boy<br \/>\nAnd he pointed down the well<br \/>\nThen he said, I’ll cast your ass down there<br \/>\nIf you try to renege on our deal<br \/>\nI’ll get your soul and you’ll get nothin’<br \/>\nSo your stallin’ ain’t no use<br \/>\nIs it Krishna, Marx, Mohammed,<br \/>\nBuddha, Jesus Christ or Zeus?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I said, Now just a minute, Mr. Devil,<br \/>\nNo single answer’s right<br \/>\nI mean, what kinda’ God needs adulation<br \/>\nTo help Him sleep at night?<br \/>\nGod’s gotta be more than fair<br \/>\nAnd there’s no limit to His love<br \/>\nSo the answer, Mr. Devil<br \/>\nMust be all of Thee above<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Yeah, it ain’t some dogmatised opinion<br \/>\nGonna’ get us any higher<br \/>\nYeah, it ain’t no fancy ritual<br \/>\nGonna’ save us from no fire<br \/>\nAnd it ain’t some two-faced TV preacher<br \/>\nWho swears he’s so damned right<br \/>\nSayin’ ‘God forgives the sinner<br \/>\nSo capital punishment is quite all right<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I say the Lord doesn’t make distinctions<br \/>\nBetween the Christians and the Jews<br \/>\nMoslems, Commies, Moonies,<br \/>\nBuddhists or Hindus.<br \/>\nWe’re all in this together,<br \/>\nWe all got the Golden Rule,<br \/>\nYou gotta’ do unto others<br \/>\nAs you’d have ’em do to you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Seems every dogmatised opinion<br \/>\nSays the others are made o’ lies.<br \/>\nThey all got different notions<br \/>\n‘Bout what it’s like in Paradise.<br \/>\nThey say the only way to get there<br \/>\nIs to follow their advice,<br \/>\nOr their God He will destroy you<br \/>\nIf you don’t agree they’re right.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I say we’re all in this together<br \/>\nWe all lose or we all win<br \/>\nAnd as sure as we’re here today<br \/>\nWe’re gonna’ be born again.<br \/>\nWe’re all in this together<br \/>\nSo go by the Golden Rule<br \/>\nMake the world a better place<br \/>\nTo be born back into.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The devil scowled and stomped his hoof<br \/>\nAnd sealed up the well.<br \/>\nThen he said he’d had his fingers crossed<br \/>\nWhen we shook hands on our deal.<br \/>\nHe wouldn’t give me any satisfaction<br \/>\nWouldn’t even say if I was right,<br \/>\nHe just said, Boy you been cheatin’,<br \/>\nAnd I’ll get you back <em>good<\/em> next
