Lyrics

You won’t find the devil in the details Or in the fine print That makes your eyes squint He is listing his services for sale On the front page Of the modern age Stories of jesus christ and climate change, human rights and outer space There are wars That cannot be won The damage is done, the lines are drawn, the factories closed, the robots turned on Now every minute feels automatic All the headlines blur together, stock markets, the five day weather The forecast calls for truths to be told Before attention spans grow too cold To make it through the day, if you find history don’t throw it away Let the past Stand inside the light Cause the devil is not hiding in the details You got to look him in the eyes And put up a fight Raise your hands, boys and girls If you’re worried about the end of the world Turn your eyes from the tv screen that plays reruns of American dreams When did it get so hard to wake up? I’m searching high and low for hope and truth that shine in the fantasy of youth No matter how the years may weigh us down Open your eyes, say a prayer for everyone and everywhere Now stare straight into the sun The big one ain’t here yet Our work is not done
