Now you're knockin' at the devil's door Outside it's pourin' rain I know what you're lookin' for Another fool to play your game Play your game You fear what you don't understand Listen to the howlin' wind A fatal flaw in your master plan You're gonna pay and you can't win You can't win You got to have it all Makin' people feel small Your precious money made Blood suckers, we'll get paid All the lies you told will come and get you when you're old Because of that heart of stone Gonna be alone and old Now you're cryin' at the serpent's gate Burnin' up in the blindin' sun Our lives they were entwined by fate Poisoned words roll off your tongue Off your tongue Take my blood Take my guns Standin' in the gleamin' sand With my daughter and my sons Take me by the hand By the hand You got to have it all Makin' people feel small Your precious money made Blood suckers, we'll get paid All my art you stole is gonna get you when you're old Because of that heart of stone Gonna be alone and old
like the message that the selfish/unaware eventually get what they deserve, that's a very satisfying message, but I don't think that's true at all. it's a superstitious belief in karma. so, liking this song, I take it as a revenge fantasy.
Karma somehow exists, just it's not the form people believes it is. It's not the ancient power creating bad things to catch you, it's the system of cause and effect, which affect all the people. And diving things into "good and evil" in people's minds exists to (teoretically) bring us from bad effects of our doings, so the bad things can results with bad effects - just it's not always something coming fast. As in this song: when you're old, you are old and lonely. Most things are slowly, but deeply affecting us, so so-called karma too.
fucking goddamnit.
so much to be learned from this man's approach.
If you ever get the chance to talk with him, he is the best. He was more interested in my 13 year old and his playing the harmonica, guitar and bass.
This man is a legend that so few know about
Learning in 2024….
Now you're knockin' at the devil's door
Outside it's pourin' rain
I know what you're lookin' for
Another fool to play your game
Play your game
You fear what you don't understand
Listen to the howlin' wind
A fatal flaw in your master plan
You're gonna pay and you can't win
You can't win
You got to have it all
Makin' people feel small
Your precious money made
Blood suckers, we'll get paid
All the lies you told will come and get you when you're old
Because of that heart of stone
Gonna be alone and old
Now you're cryin' at the serpent's gate
Burnin' up in the blindin' sun
Our lives they were entwined by fate
Poisoned words roll off your tongue
Off your tongue
Take my blood
Take my guns
Standin' in the gleamin' sand
With my daughter and my sons
Take me by the hand
By the hand
You got to have it all
Makin' people feel small
Your precious money made
Blood suckers, we'll get paid
All my art you stole is gonna get you when you're old
Because of that heart of stone
Gonna be alone and old
I had the honor of seeing this live last night on New Years and got to meet the Man, what a great experience this is the shit
Sipping a bit of Old Nº 7 in the moment, this is the music, I needed
Scott Weinrich. He's from Saint Vitus, The Obsessed and a few other bands. Worth checking out
I think his best heavy work is the Spirit Caravan 'Dreamwheel' e.p. Every track on that release is a winner.
Great song!
Awesome.
Wino, please, come to México before of my death. You are a legend.
awesome !!!!!!
Superb, thanks!!
