Lyrics

Go Ask Job

He's reeling in the corner of the bar
Rambling it's come much too far
Craving just one more round
Crying Lord I let you down

She standing on the corner of the street
Pretty red shoes on her feet
Calling out to the young and the old
Crumbling to the Devil and the cold

Where were you when fire sprang
From the belly of the stars
Where were you when motion
Came to Jupiter and Mars
When you question the fate of your story
When you question the Power and the Glory
Go ask Job

Los Believers in the righteous fight
Praying for peace tonight
Healing light for dire needs
And restitution for evil deeds

CHORUS

Ever deal with the devil
Ever roll with the dice
Am I standing by your side
Or is the gulf deep and wide

CHORUS
