If the sun vaporized one day
And the moon just faded away
Would we still, keep going on
At this pit of the mining pace
Should the birds fall to the ground
And the fish die of thirst
Would we still keep on living
The way it's always been
Now if the air could burn my lungs
And the earth were only rocks
Would it make us stop and realize
That we rot, that we can't go on like this
Devil, oh, devil
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times
In this time that we could almost choose
The color of our children's eyes
Can we still, keep going on living
When the monster turns on us
Before the sun doesn't rise one day, huh
And the moon just dies away
There is one thing
(What?)
One thing what, uh
That we'll never change
Is that we're only learning to survive
Devil, oh, devil
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times
If the sun vaporized one day
And the moon just faded away
Would we still, keep going on
At this pit of the mining pace
Should the birds fall to the ground
And the fish die of thirst
And the earth were only rocks
Would we still keep on living
The way it's always been
Now if the air could burn my lungs
And the earth were only rocks
Would it make us stop and realize
That we can't go on like this
Devil, oh, devil
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times
Devil, oh, devil
Why don't you tell me why
I'm a slave in these desperate times
