Why, why, why can't I seem to hold my head up high?
It must be the devil in my ear

Thrivin' on my pain and they keep bringin' me down
I pray to God for peace of mind, for the gloom to disappear
I can't find a cause to live with the devil in my ear

Why, why, why can't I seem to hold my head up high?

But my life can't go on like this
And not another day with the devil in my ear

Well, not another day with the devil in my ear
Not another day with the devil in my
