Текст песне : Innocent Bystanders (The). The Innocent Bystanders. Devil Plays The Piano.

You gotta take ?em down and ring ?em out and catch ?em before they hit the ground you never know when your number?s up. You gotta take your time and do it right don?t save it for a rainy night don?t want to be the runner up. You?ve got one more night in ecstasy before it brings you to your knees tomorrow is the judgment day. Just take it from Clark Kent it?s hard to be a hero when there?s nobody left to save.
You gotta stop watching winners win don?t wait around cuz it?s a sin to watch ?em take what you deserve. You gotta take ?em down and let ?em rot it could even make the devil hot or whatever god it is you serve. You got one more night in ecstasy before it brings you to your knees tomorrow is the judgment day. You gotta redefine your deities and do it any way you please before you become someone?s slave.

I?ve got another confession to make. How many Advil do you think it will take to ease the pain that I feel do you think it will heal ok? Raise your hand if you think you can tell right away that you?ll be going to hell, cuz then you feel the same but your not ashamed like me.

Now you write your songs and play your shows but no one ever really knows or cares to try and learn your name and all you?re really looking for is to get your foot inside the door that leads to the fortune and fame. Now the Devil plays the piano in his rockin? one-man show now he?s asking you to play. You?ve got his records hangin? on your wall you make the deal you?ll never fall you?ll still be rich and famous someday.

So you sold away the copyrights and now your losing all you fights wont listen to what the lawyers say. So you packed it up and grabbed the bus and no on even gave a fuck when that greyhound pulled away. Now you?re standing in your cruddy shoes and if they read the daily news they finally would know your name. Now this narrow road in front of me will surely make me bend a knee and genuflect to the rain
