As greedy little humans, we could not be content
With the life the Earth provided us and all that it meant
We had to be the masters of our destiny
The Devil saw his opening and so it came to be

Chorus:
We were at a crossroad and the Devil met us there
He offered us a bargain to sell our earth and air
For riches beyond Midas and convenience yet untold
We took the Devil’s bargain and sold our Earthly souls

Fiddle:

Lusting for our prize we sent those drill bits down
And loosed the Devil’s soup spilling across the ground
We never stopped to think what kind of evil lay in store
Now we’ll pay the price for a hundred years or more

The goo was like a drug and from Boston to Bombay
We drove around in motorcars and turned night into day
Consuming ever faster, tilling up the soil
Greasing all the gears, easing all our toil

Repeat chorus:

Instrumental verse:

Now the air keeps getting fouler like the soils and the seas
The ice caps are a melting and we’re losing all our trees
The Devil kept his bargain but we just now see the price
A world unfit for living things; the future’s not so bright

Repeat chorus:

Tag:
And sold our earthly souls
