Playing with the Devil Lyrics


As poor as you may be,
the only one you're hurting is your family.
Robbing yourself, it makes no sense.
You steal a million but then end up with cents.
Cause the devil dances in empty pockets
and you're never gonna win by firing rockets.
Hear me when I say.
So much chaos in these streets, you see that.
From the heat there's no retreat, you know that.
To the less you only beat, you hear that?
But the devil dances in empty pockets
and you're never gonna win by firing rockets.
Hear me when I say.
Oh, we don't need that to know.
Oh, we don't need that.
Because playing with the devil causes the lightning and thunder.
Because playing with the devil causes the lightning and thunder.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.

Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.
I smell that plastic burning.
Sobered from burning plastic.
I smell that plastic burning.
Sobered from burning plastic.
Because playing with the devil causes the lightning and thunder.
Because playing with the devil causes the lightning and thunder.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.
Oh, here's what we gotta do is move this forward, tell him that we're coming through.

Skindred is a four-piece "ragga metal" band from Newport, Wales. Their genre is an innovative mix of metal, punk, and reggae. The band was formed in 1999 following the disbandment of vocalist Benji Webbe's previous band, Dub War and his one-off side-project mass mental? featuring Robert Trujillo (Suicidal Tendencies, Infectious Grooves, Metallica) released the year prior.

The band initially came together with three of the four Dub War veterans with Jeff Rose and Martin Ford returning alongside Webbe, along with new bassist Daniel Pugsley. The group released their debut LP Babylon in July 2002, with sporadic success in parts of Europe and the U.S. metal underground. However after suffering years of indifference and waning support from Earache Records with Dub War and now seeing the same lack of label support from RCA for Skindred, Rose and Ford amicably left the band in November of 2002, but would continue to offer their support.

Soon Webbe had hooked up with guitarist Mikey Dee, and drummer Dirty Arya and continued on, but it wasn't until a year or so later and Lava Records' involvement that the album really took off. Skindred re-released Babylon in August 2004. Lava's version featured different cover art, and included newly recorded material in addition to the original, Howard Benson-helmed songs. Skindred then headed out on a series of tours with acts like Sevendust, Nonpoint, and Papa Roach, and never looked back.
