Down by the shore
The devil rides out
You know what it is
By the way the angels are crying
Strange kind of waiting
Fear in his soul
Laughing so loud, but
Ain't nobody smiling
With dignity so far down the road
And the death of truth
Banging on the door
No nothing, nothing seems to matter no more

Well I'm thanking the Lord
I know what I am
When you know what you want
It's easy
And there for the taking
The value of gold
Just a numbers game
Whilst your ace of your riches
Laughs at your empty heart breaking
Well you say I don't care
But you got me all wrong
I just don't want to be aware I gaze
At the smile that you're faking
Guess you'll never know why
What you crave you can't buy
You say you're trying your best
But it's just a whole heap of mess
That you're making
When they change the rules
And tell you the truth
Is against the law
Nothing, oh nothing
Can ever matter no more
Oh, nothing can ever matter no more
