Stay Down Here Where You Belong

Down below, down below caught the devil talking to his son
Who wanted to go up above, up above
He cried, "It's getting too warm for me down here and so
I'm going up and up where I can have a little fun"
The Devil simply shook his head and answered his son

"Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong
To please their king, they've all gone out to war
And not one of them knows what he's fighting for"

"Way up above they say that I'm a devil and I'm bad
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
They're breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers out of brothers
You'll find more hell up there than there is down below"

"Kings up there, they don't care
For the mothers who must stay at home, their troubles to bear
Stay at home, don't you roam
Although it's warm down down below, you'll find its warmer up there
If you go way up there, my son, I know you'll be surprised
You'll find a lot of people who are not civilized"

"Stay down here where you belong
The folks who live above you don't know right from wrong
To please their king, they've all gone out to war
And not a one of of them knows what he's fighting for"

"Way up above they say that I'm a devil and I'm bad
Kings up there are bigger devils than your dad
They're breaking the hearts of mothers, making butchers out of brothers
You'll find more hell up there than there is down below"
