lyrics

The road has not been kind to you
as any fool can tell
but everything it's put you through
you've really done to yourself.
So if you need some sympathy
then get on the microphone.
Play those sad sad songs, my friend:
that beautiful bitch and moan.
But I just can't be bothered
with all of your hard luck.
The devil, he may care
but frankly I don't give a fuck.

A catastrophic cliche
that we've all seen before.
Just a ragged replay
of a role that's nothing more.
Than another big sob story
about a life that's gone astray.
But a man can't be the victim
of the choices that he's made.
So it might be time for fixing cars,
writing books or driving trucks,
The devil, he may care
but frankly I don't give a fuck.

I don't give a fuck what you do out there.
If you're headlining Carnegie Hall
or just drunk in a ditch somewhere.
It was once about the music.
Not it's about the misery.
And the devil, he may care for you.
I try to keep him away from me.

Well, maybe you will make it through.
Then again, maybe you won't.
But there are those who care
whether you do or if you don't.
I may not be one of them.
The fact is I am not.
But somewhere someone's dreaming
of just a touch of the gifts you've got.
So feel free to remain down
in the mire and the muck.
The devil, he may care
but frankly I don't give a fuck.
