lyrics

Diablo Wind

I’ve been waitin’ on the simple truth
A reckoning is overdue
Everyone’s drinking the evenin’ news
Now it’s down to me and it’s up to you
The Diablo wind is blowin’ keep your head down low
The swamp is overflowin’ and the puppets nose is growin’

Clear the field there’s work to do
They’re sowin’ seeds that won’t bear fruit
Selling us stories that were never true
Now it’s down to me and it’s up to you
The Diablo wind is blowin’ keep your head down low
The swamp is overflowin’ and the country’s roots are showin’

Everyone wants a second chance
Put your trust back in my hands
There’s nothing I won’t do for you
If I were king here’s what I’d do
Anything I wanted to

Close the gate now sound the guards
The fools are loose in my front yard
Nothing happens ‘til the needle moves
Now it’s down to me it’s up to you
The Diablo wind is blowin’ keep your head down low
The swamp is overflowin’ and the tainted king’s still crowin’ ’

The Diablo wind is blowin’
It’s a category four election year
The Diablo wind is blowin’
