Lucifer Byrnes – The Devil's Referendum lyrics

A song and dance it’s just an act
A cunning ruse so you don’t see the promise taken back
For what it’s worth take my advice
Ignore him when he swears to give you all or you will pay the price
In the devil’s referendum, he’ll let you have your say
As long as he is guaranteed, the vote will go his way
In the devil’s referendum, all’s fair in love and war
Except that the result is fixed , it’s rotten to the core

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
The devil’s referendum
Is rotten to the core

His show reveals a lame excuse
A pack of lies to sell you hell disguised as blatant truth
With shallow words the deals inscribed
A pointless scroll with frills to make you feel that it is bona fide
In the devil’s referendum, the fiddles ratified
Just choose the road you wish to grace, he’ll take you for a ride
In the devil’s referendum, a fable is the script
A folly turning reason down, reality’s dismissed

Reality’s dismissed
Reality’s dismissed
In the devil’s referendum
Reality’s dismissed

No more trading, no more jobs
Markets crashing, raging mobs
Bankers barricading doors
Our demise is swift
That’s, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing but a myth


Nothing but a myth
Nothing but a myth
The devil’s referendum
Is nothing but a myth

Rotten to the core
Rotten to the core
The devil’s referendum
Is rotten to the core

Reality’s dismissed
Reality’s dismissed
In the devil’s referendum
Reality’s dismissed
