LyricsDEMONSMark Patterson © 2025 Although I might be the treacherous kind I'm not looking for trouble to start But get sideways with me and you'll find We don't suffer fools in these parts Call me a sinner all you want to Lord knows I ain't no saint But before the dream starts to haunt you You'd better get one thing straight Listen to me brother Don't give the demons satisfaction Don't give them the time of day Turn a blind eye to the distraction You're riding the high road today Don't give the demons satisfaction Don't let 'em strip your soul away You don't want to be part of that madness The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game Call me a sinner all you want to Lord knows I ain't no saint But before the dream starts to haunt you You'd better get one thing straight Listen to me brother Don't give the demons satisfaction Don't give them the time of day Turn a blind eye to the distraction You're riding the high road today Don't give the demons satisfaction Don't let 'em strip your soul away You don't want to be part of that madness The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game The backwoods prophet said when I was a boy You're gonna see your share of darkness in life Pick and choose which battles you join And toe the line between virtue and vice Call me a sinner all you want to Lord knows I ain't no saint But before the dream starts to haunt you You'd better get one thing straight You gotta listen to me brother Don't give the demons satisfaction Don't give them the time of day Turn a blind eye to the distraction You're riding the high road today Don't give the demons satisfaction Don't let 'em strip your soul away You don't want to be part of that madness The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game The dice are loaded and the Devil runs the game Yeah the Devil runs the game |
