Bury the Devil

Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
Verse
There was a mighty poet
Who had a love for the devine
He went by Hafiz he lived for peace
Open up your mind to the words he left behind
He was a gift to mankind if you look into the rhyme
Where bombs hit the kids
And the kids get guns
And the mother’s cry
And the cities die
And the flags fly high
By the target on the tongue
Of a pilot on a run for God
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
Verse
In a big town tiny town
Someday soon
The man in the moon
Gonna go and get the goon
That deals drugs to the fools
That sell it in the schools
Kids tap into a vein to forget the pain
They feel good till blame takes aim and the shame
Will make their soul crave to dig their own grave
And the mother’s cry and the city’s die
There’s a war outside and a war inside
Protect them
Can I get an amen
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
Verse
From the East to the West
It’s all about the money
It ain’t about God
If it’s all about the honey
Sing the songs unsung
For the old and the young
Protect them
Can I get an amen
Chorus
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Gonna dig a hole
Put the devil in it
Put the devil in it
