  • I got my finger on the trigger
    But I don't know who to trust
    When I look into your eyes
    There's just devils and dust
    We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
    Home's a long, long way from us
    I feel a dirty wind blowing
    Devils and dust

    I got God on my side
    I'm just trying to survive
    What if what you do to survive
    Kills the things you love
    Fear's a powerful thing
    It can turn your heart black you can trust
    It'll take your God filled soul
    And fill it with devils and dust

    Well I dreamed of you last night
    In a field of blood and stone
    The blood began to dry
    The smell began to rise
    Well I dreamed of you last night
    In a field of mud and bone
    Your blood began to dry
    The smell began to rise

    We've got God on our side
    We're just trying to survive
    What if what you do to survive
    Kills the things you love
    Fear's a powerful thing
    It'll turn your heart black you can trust
    It'll take your God filled soul
    Fill it with devils and dust
    It'll take your God filled soul
    Fill it with devils and dust

    Now every woman and every man
    They want to take a righteous stand
    Find the love that God wills
    And the faith that He commands
    I've got my finger on the trigger
    And tonight faith just ain't enough
    When I look inside my heart
    There's just devils and dust

    I've got God on my side
    And I'm just trying to survive
    What if what you do to survive
    Kills the things you love
    Fear's a dangerous thing
    It can turn your heart black you can trust
    It'll take your God filled soul
    Fill it with devils and dust
    It'll take your God filled soul
    Fill it with devils and dust Writer/s: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN

  • Joe from St. Marys, PaA deeply moving song that could be about a soldier in war, someone dealing with an addiction, or any anymore with a war raging inside of them. "What if what you do to survive
    Kills the things you love". This says it all. People dealing with their demons with consequences they cannot control.
  • Johnny from Los Angeles, CaI loved when he sung it at the grammys
