Buy Back Your Soul

Working the late shift
you've been here before
a little piece of the action
you've got to have more

You climb up the ladder
to feel like a man
the world is a jungle
you take what you can

You pray to the power
of diamonds and gold
all of your money -
won't buy back your soul

Many a hand shake
on the road to success
who your real friends are
is anyone's guess

The rooms of your castle
are lonely and cold
your family are strangers
that you'll never know

You pray to the power
but you're getting old
all of your money -
won't buy back your soul

No one can save you
no doctor no lawyer no priest
when you deal with the devil
you won't be released

The road to salvation
it cannot not be sold
you'll find out -
all the money in the world
will never ever buy back your soul
