To Beat The Devil-Kris Kristofferson

[02:24.88]If you waste your time a-talking to the people who don't listen [02:29.50]to the things that you are saying who do you think's going to hear? [02:34.92]And if you should die explaining how the things that they complain about [02:40.07]are things they could be changing, who d'you think's goin' to care? [02:46.05]There were other lonely singers in a world turned deaf and blind who [02:51.33]were crucified for what they tried to show, [02:55.22] [02:56.15]And their voices have been scattered by the swirling winds of time, [03:00.40] [03:01.38]'cause the truth remains that no-one wants to know! [03:04.18] [03:52.27]And you still can hear me singing to the people who don't listen [03:56.76]to the things that I am saying, praying someone's going to hear; [04:02.31]And I guess I'll die explaining how the things that they complain about [04:06.75]are things they could be changing, hoping someone's goin' to care. [04:13.37]I was born a lonely singer and I'm bound to die the same [04:18.42]But I've got to feed the hunger in my soul; [04:23.21]And if I never have a nickel I won't ever die of shame [04:28.41]'cause I don't believe that no-one wants to know!
