Story Behind The Song

Neil had a dream about selling his soul to the devil, and then he woke up with this massive chest pain. Also, Mike was writing a song where the chorus was "Idle hands and idle minds," but Neil heard it wrong. This was when we started writing suff down.

Song Description

Being content with what you have.

Lyrics

I had a dream just the other day.
The Devil came and took me away.
He said, ?son, won?t you take me by the hand?
We?ll pass some time in a far off land.
?I?ll show you things beyond your dreams
And what you want could be what seems.
I?ll give you all the help that you need.?
And I said, ?Mr. Devil, I?m the wrong place for your seed.?

?Cause I don?t have and I don?t mind.
What I got is just fine.
You don?t impress and you don?t appeal.
You?re in the wrong place if you?re looking for a soul to steal.

I was looking around my house one night.
Just kicking back and feeling alright.
No table to rest my feet upon.
No TV to turn off and on.
I?m not akin to a millionaire
With a pin striped suit and thinning hair.
I?d like to grab those bars that lock him in his suit.
I?d like to set him free and show him what is true.

?Cause I don?t have and I don?t mind.
What I got is just fine.
My happiness you cannot buy.
Don?t look down on me cause you ain?t that high.

The sun came out just the other day.
The wind blew strong and took the clouds away.
The whole world was at my feet.
As I pounded them upon the street.
I?ve been walking in the rain the longest time
With an angel on my shoulder and a devil on my mind.
One tells me to take, one tells me to give.
I?ll listen to myself I?d rather live.

?Cause I don?t have and I don?t mind.
What I got is just fine.
I?m not looking for a whole new me
?Cause what you get is what you see.

?Cause I don?t have and I don?t mind.
What I got is just fine.
You don?t impress and you don?t appeal.
You?re in the wrong place if you?re looking for a soul to steal.
