Stan Rogers Try Like the Devil Lyrics:
So it's come to the alley and playing in bars,
Coming on to the hustlers and the old burnt-out stars
With the Demons on my shoulders, smiling to show me the way.
Now, there's one for ambition and another for greed
Here’s a big one... he's a drunkard, and the easiest to food
It takes a poor man to ignore them...
A rich man to drive them away.

No more thinking! I don't care anyway.
I can't find an answer; I've looked for one everywhere.
I'll keep my head down and smile when they sell me

I'll play where they tell me, and try like the devil
To keep the demons away.

Now, it's so tantalizing, this little smell of success...
The Monkey Demon keeps me screaming, and he won’t let me rest
Oh Someone, won’t you listen, and drive the demons away?

No more thinking! I don't care anyway.
I can't find an answer; I've looked for one everywhere.
I'll keep my head down and smile when they sell me
I'll play where they tell me, and I'll try like the devil
To keep the demons away.

Oh try like the devil
To keep the demons away.
