Lyrics for Sell My Soul

Let's begin, I am ready, let's begin Sell my soul to him Shed my skin, I just wanna shed my skin I don't wanna sell my soul to him Mechanize, city bursts and farmers die They cry Sleep face down in a goods train heading south in the rain In this world I often think you'd understand me In these words I often think you'd recognise me 'Cos I just wanna swim with the fish in the sea And I want faith to heal so that I can be clean America's great now If you don't talk back You hide your face Crawl and rubble, And smile and small That snails-paced creature Going up and down walls Celebrate, I just want to celebrate I'm not going to sell my soul to him When you look right in
