You can pray you can fight
You can get down on your knees every night
You can’t save ‘em
You can’t lift ‘em from turmoil
You can’t reckon with the devil
You can’t reckon with the devil
You can’t stop the train
can’t block the lane
They’ll throw the blame
Oh the sorrow oh the shame
All you can do
is hold out your hand
Tell ‘em that you love ‘em
and that you understand
They ain’t gonna listen
They do what they want
Cause everything that’s wrong
Don’t you know it’s your fault
You can’t pray you can’t fight
You can’t get down on your knees every night
You can’t save ‘em
You can’t lift ‘em from turmoil
You can’t reckon with the devil
You can’t reckon with the devil
Can’t stop the train
Can’t block the lane
They’ll throw the blame
Oh the sorrow oh the shame
It’s like ice water
running through your vein
Your sweet soul
is circling the drain
Everyone that loves you
We all feel the same
I know if I could
I’d take away all your pain
I can’t pray I can’t fight
I can’t get down on my knees every night
I can’t save ‘em
I can’t lift ’em from turmoil
I can’t reckon with the devil
No I can’t reckon with the devil
I can’t stop the train
can’t block the lane
They’ll throw the blame
Oh the sorrow oh the shame
