A                 B
No one sees the things you do
D                    A
Because I stand in front of you
A                B
But you drive me all the time
D            A
Put the evil in my mind

Used to sing and say my prayers
Live my life without a care
Now I have become a fool
Because I listened to the mule

Chorus:
Em
How can I change when my mind is a friend
Of a Lucifer hid in the ground
Just another slave for the mule
