Dm                  A 
The old devils are at it again

Who knows what they'll do 
         Dm                      A

From behind these bars the view don't change 
                       Dm 
Desperation, death and despair 
      Dm                       A 
From what little I hear of the outside world 
                                 Dm 
Well it's not too different out there 

          Dm 
And they tell me there's a war without no end 
                    A 
The old devils are at it again 
       A 
They die by the millions, children, women and men

The old devils are at it again

When I say devils, you know who I mean

These animals in the dark

Malicious politicians with nefarious schemes 
                        Dm 
Charlatans and crooked cops

The moonshine still gives you five to ten

Stripes on your back and a ball and chain

The old devils are at it again

Dm                    A 
Two men stare out of prison bars 
                       Dm 
Wondering what got'em here

One saw mud but the other saw stars 
                         Dm 
Praying that the end is near

The billboard outside says "confess your sins"

The old devils are at it again

And it's true right now like it was back then 
                    Dm 
The old devils are at it again

I said the old devils are at it again, ooh oh
