Satan's Foot On My Neck Lyrics - Singles - Brett Detar

(Oh ooh oooh) [x4] 

In a world of deceivers, can't find no believers 

Could it be that there's none of them left? 

Dumped in a river when I was delivered 

The doctor, he cursed me under his breath 

sayin, "Boy, just be thankful you're breathin' 

Don't be wishin' for no one to care 

Boy, you won't ever get even 

There ain't no place for that around here" [x2] 

Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck? [x4] 

In a world full of others, can't find me a brother 

Could it be I'm a bastard or worse? 

Was left here to suffer by my starvin' mother 

My father, he hung on the day of my birth 

Said boy, just be thankful you're breathin' 

Don't be wishing for no one to love 

Boy, don't be thinkin' of thievin' 

You'll pay for your sins below or above [x2] 

(Oh ooh oooh) [x4] 

In a life full of trouble that's never been subtle 

You could say I'm the prince of all pain 

'cos if heartache's a kingdom I'd have wealth and dominion 

And all of my debts, they would surely be paid 

Boy, just be thankful you're breathing 

Don't be wishin' for no one to care 

No, there's no way to get even 

There ain't no place for that around here 

Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck? [x4] 

Thought I could bargain with the father of lies 

I tried to make my peace of the edge of a knife 

Why am I so surprised to be playing with fire? 

Got hell to pay the fiddler when the deal expires 

Get your foot off my neck [x2] 

Get your foot up off my neck
