Never Bet The Devil Your Head

The GC5 Never Bet The Devil Your Head Lyrics
1.No Love

Get your head out of the clouds kid
Get your heart out of the gutter
Get your mind off your sleeve
It's so easy to read
You used to walk so proud kid
Like there was no other

Like a fool you believed
You're so easily deceived

You never get just what you want
You only get what you deserve

I see you chasin' down a spectre
Runnin' headlong into pain
Apparitions in your eyes
She's cut you down to size
And all your good intentions
Have only brought you rain
So grow up and get wise
It's cruelty that gets you by

You're as cold and you're as bankrupt as before
You've been kicked right in the teeth and shown the door
You're abandoned and forgotten when push comes to shove
She could've called it anything
She should've called it no love


2.Dead Ends

Spent a buck for every dime I earned
It's the story of my life
Down on my luck and now it's time I learned
Everything has it's price
But broken hearts and empty pockets
Don't determine wrong and right

When the thoughts that fill your head
Are the kind that make your eyeballs sweat at night

The view from the alley and the view from the valley
Are empty and surrounded by dead ends
The bridges that I burned and the lessons that I learned
Don't amount to a damn thing in the end

Been accused and called a criminal
But I've yet to speak my mind
I may lose but the damage is minimal
And I'll soon respond in kind
I need an angel or a patron to save me
I need a message or a sign
Kings and queens have set me on their assorted paths
But I'll find my way in time
