Brett Detar - Satan's Foot On My Neck

In a world of deceivers, can't find no believers
Could it be that there's none of them left?
Dumped in a river when I was delivered
The doctor, he cursed me under his breath
sayin, "Boy, just be thankful you're breathin'
Don't be wishin' for no one to care
Boy, you won't ever get even
There ain't no place for that around here" [x2]

Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck? [x4]

In a world full of others, can't find me a brother
Could it be I'm a bastard or worse?
Was left here to suffer by my starvin' mother
My father, he hung on the day of my birth

Said boy, just be thankful you're breathin'
Don't be wishing for no one to love
Boy, don't be thinkin' of thievin'
You'll pay for your sins below or above [x2]

(Oh ooh oooh) [x4]

In a life full of trouble that's never been subtle
You could say I'm the prince of all pain
'cos if heartache's a kingdom I'd have wealth and dominion
And all of my debts, they would surely be paid
Boy, just be thankful you're breathing
Don't be wishin' for no one to care
No, there's no way to get even
There ain't no place for that around here

Why's the devil always got his foot on my neck? [x4]

Thought I could bargain with the father of lies
I tried to make my peace of the edge of a knife
Why am I so surprised to be playing with fire?
Got hell to pay the fiddler when the deal expires
Get your foot off my neck [x2]
Get your foot up off my neck
