Sometimes, got to wash in muddy waters
And roll... on a bed of stone
Got to swallow (swallow) what you don't want to
Defend yourself... save your soul
Sometimes, while the battle still is raging
Your heart (your heart) filling up with pride
Anger... is the devil's earthly demon
And the pride you feel inside
And the pride you feel inside
Gonna eat you up alive
Gonna eat you up alive
Sometimes, got to wash in muddy waters
And roll... on a bed of stone
Got to swallow (swallow) what you don't want to
And the pride you feel inside
And the pride you feel inside
Gonna eat you up alive
Eat you up alive
Gonna eat you up alive
