Stay Down Here Where You Belong

Down below\nDown Below\nSat the devil talking to his son\nWho wanted to go Up above\nUp above\nHe cried, «It's getting too warm for me down here and so\nI’m going up on Earth where I can have a little fun\nThe Devil simply shook his head and answered his son\nStay down here where you belong\nThe folks who live above you don’t know right from wrong\nTo please their kings they’ve all gone out to war\nAnd not a one of them knows what he’s fighting for\n'Way up above they say that I’m a Devil and I’m bad\nKings up there are bigger devils than your dad\nThey’re breaking the hearts of mothers\nMaking butchers out of brothers\nYou’ll find more hell up there than there is down below\n«Kings up there\nThey don’t care\nFor the mothers who must stay at home\nTheir sorrows to bear\nStay at home\nDon’t you roam\nAlthough it’s warm down below, you’ll find it’s warmer up there\nIf e’er you went up there, my son, I know you’d be surprised\nYou’d find a lot of people are not civilized»
