lyrics

LITTLE RED DEMONS

Sick of my mind going black all the time
Filling me full of demons
The day-to-day dance, I slip in their trance
Got no chance to relieve ‘em
They’re doubters, haters, liars, and cheats
Bring a man down to his knees
I don’t need a doctor or a chief of police
I gotta find some way to leave em


Sick of my brain celebrating ole pain
While my face just feigns indifference
Round round we go, first fast then slow
Give the ole heave ho to resistance
They’re truckers, traitors, tough as steel
Bullying me and how I oughta feel
Holdin me down with a jack booted heel
Obliterating all confidence

Them little red demons, big headed schemes
Keep me from dreaming within my means
The big bad monsters, little fries of fear
Never leave me alone, so I never leave here

I’m sick of this thinking, going south to sinking
Dragging down with drinking and drugs
Booze and debasement, temporary facelift
Leaves a warm heart in mud
Well they’re stubborn, solid, thick as a wall
Toss banana peels and watch me fall
They’re all for none and none for all
Polluting my brains and blood

Them little red demons, big headed schemes
Keep me from dreaming within my means
Te big bad monsters, little fries of fear
Never leave me alone, so I never leave here

Sick of this song, going on so long
Its just plain wrong to continue
It ain’t like folk, the melody’s broke
It needs a good poke in the venue
It’s shoddy, sloppy, shaky, and weak
No fun to sing let alone to speak
The chorus don’t work and the harmony’s meek
Leaving me black and blue

Well them little red demons, big headed schemes
Keep me from dreaming within my means
Te big bad monsters, little fries of fear
Never leave me alone, so I never leave here
