Shake Off The Demon

     
 

Shake off the demon

See how the angel run

Pull out the powder

Shoot with the empty gun

You know you burn down the highway

And leave me no place to run, to run

 

So many visions to psychoanalyze

The politician screaming the bleedin’ lies

And all the natural children riot for the compromise

Oh babe, open your window, and let that fresh air blow

Hey shake babe, shake off your demon

And watch that angel go

Oh no

 

The priest and preacher talkin’ up the holy will

Singin’ the glory ‘bout how love fulfills

And here’s a man from the uniform

Sayin’ he wants to teach you to kill

To kill

 

Ah shake off the demon

See how the angel run

Pull out the powder

Shoot with an empty gun

You know you burn down the highway

And leave me no place to run

Oh babe, open your window, and let that fresh air blow

Hey shake babe, shake off your demon

And watch that angel go


Shake Off The Demon
