lyrics

I shook the Devil’s hand the other day
God was right there but he looked the other way
And only he knows who gets the best of the bargain
Cause he runs the casino and sets the profit margin
What did you expect?
You let the fox guard the chicken
Now you’re perplexed they’ve gone missing?
It takes a miracle to not become cynical
Like the environment’s inimical to principles
A perfect habitat for spineless fucking clumps of jelly
Swimming with the tide, legs undeveloped and thumping bellies,
Sipping on their wine like everything is fine
It’s fucking priceless
I shook the Devil’s hand the other day
Then God came out of nowhere screaming “brother wait”
Well fuck, I’ve gotta say, that is not what I expected
My pleasure, I treasure the gesture beyond measure, however
Mate, you are too fucking late

I gave my soul to the Devil
Just after God took my spine
Never been much of a rebel
I’m just trying to walk the line

We’re in the lap of the Gods now
Cause our leaders have failed us
I guess they made a trade-off
Our future for a brand new Maybach
Yeah, that’s well played bruv
Get those pats on the back from your lads
A hearty clap for that sack full of cash
Get those nuggets and fill those pockets
Take the lead in the dick swinging contest
Ride off into the sunset
The man, the myth, the legend, you're destined for glory
From rags to riches to head-spinning orgies
What did we expect?
We’ve been teaching our kids for decades
Competing is how you make headway
And should you care to disagree
You won’t get a word in edgeways
We’re in the lap of the Gods now
And all we can do is pray
They don’t let us fall down

I gave my soul to the Devil
Just after God took my spine
Never been much of a rebel
I’m just trying to walk the line

I gave my soul to the Devil
Just after God took my spine
Now the score has been settled
We’re all partners in crime

about

The Pinch image

The Pinch Berlin, Germany

The Pinch messes with hiphop by means of a mic and a trumpet, serving keen obversations on the gloomy condition this dog-eat- dog reality has left us in. The humorous narration is embellished by a jazzy soundscape, reminiscent of the golden boom-bap era. ... more
