Those Poor Bastards This World Is Evil Lyrics

Who will cast the first stone?
Who will send me back home?
Sin is eating up my bones
I'm walking with the Devil
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Down there in old Arkansas
They'll hang a man before his trial
Beat him down and string him up
Just to watch him suffer
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

I knew a man from round those parts
He had a kind of nervous heart
Some friends of mine tore him apart
I think he was my father
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Well a well a well a
Satan is watching
As you walk down the road
Satan is watching
As you sleep

All I want's deliverance
Free me from this terrible mess
Lord if you're a-hearing this
Give my spirit shelter
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Send some lightning from the clouds
Get me off this dead end road
I will do just as I'm told
Burn me to a cinder
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Take my soul up to the sky
Like a vulture I will fly
To this world I'll say goodbye
Hello Holy Savior
This world is so evil
Lord! Lord! Lord!

Well a well a well a
Satan is watching
As you walk down the road
Satan is watching
As you sleep
