THE DEVIL HAVE A HAND IN RUNNING THE LAND
By Gypsy

Somebody help, come and put a hand
Come and wipe 'way the blight and see 'bout the plight
That befall the man of this land.
What's going on here? I would like to know
Why the whole world is in a turmoil so?
It look as if we fire God from the job
And give the work to Beelzebub.

Man, the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The things that happen here, well, I can't understand
But the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The things that going on here, well, I can't understand
Like if Satan in control and running the land. Ey man, oh man!

Is only wars and rumours of wars
Incurable disease go from sea to seas
And they happen without a cause
Strange phenomenons now happen everywhere
The callousness of this world have the world in fear
Politics and weaponry have taken its toll
They have the whole world out of control.

Man, the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The thing that happen here, well, I can't understand
Like the Devil have a hand in running the land... Oh yes, man!
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The things what going on here, well, I can't understand
Like if Satan in control and running the land. Oh man!

To get an ease, we turn to religion
But then in our quest to do our best, we end up in real confusion
Some religious leaders so phony and vain
Allow religious morals to go down the drain
Their materialism ---------- is lord
Robbing the world in the name of God.

Man, the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The thing that going on here, well, I can't understand
Like the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The things that happen here, well, I can't understand
Like if Satan in control and running the land. Oh man!

Let's take control, let's reconstruct the world
Sweep out all parasites, phonies and blights
What is wrong, let us make it right.
Stop this social, moral and religious decay
Our world wasn't meant to be this way
For Heaven's sake, let's not fall for deceit
Put God back in the driver's seat.

Man, the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The thing what going on here, well, I can't understand
Like the Devil have a hand in running the land
Man, the Devil have a hand in running the land
The Devil have a hand in running the land
The things what's going on here, well, I can't understand
Like if Satan in control and running the land. Oh man! Oh man!

The Devil have a hand.
The Devil have a hand.
The Devil have a hand... Oh, yes
Like the Devil have a hand in running the land.

The Devil have a hand. The Devil have a hand.
The Devil have a hand. The Devil have a hand.
The Devil have a hand ...I can't understand
Like if Satan in control and running we land.

The Devil have a hand ...We quarrel and we fight.
The Devil have a hand ...We ent doing right.
The Devil have a hand ...Oh, yes.
Like the Devil have a hand in running the land.

The Devil have a hand ...We forget what's good.
The Devil have a hand ...Not doing the things we should.
The Devil have a hand ...Ahh, yes man.
Like if Satan in control and running we land.

The Devil have a hand ...I can't understand why.
The Devil have a hand ...I can't understand...

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Gypsy, for bringing us so many songs which voice y/our concern for this country and the world and which urge us to make positive changes. Thanks for staying true.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
