Lyrics Get Beside Me Satan! - Quiet Company

Get Beside Me Satan!

We’re kicking and we’re screaming all the way to the grave
We were promised something better but when it couldn’t be named
We scorched a bit of earth, and did it all for the fame
And a comfortable position when eternity came
Don’t you kids all wanna wear the mark of the beast?
Don’t you wanna know what it’s been doing to me?
Don’t it ever scare you when they all seem to think
That you mean every word that you say?
Should I trade all of my blue skies for bitter truths?
Or my good name for just a slightly better view?
I’ll do whatever you want me to do.
Emptying my pockets at the end of the day
I found a piece of every pound of flesh I managed to save
Baby, baby, baby, oh, you’ve been so very naughty
You went cheating on your Jesus with that slutty little logic
And now you’re gonna get to be the voice of the few
The unbelieving masses will be looking to you
Don’t you ever worry
You’ve got grit and resolve and the patience of an angel evolved
I love you now, and I loved you then
Will I ever love myself again?
Pretty soon, they’ll all forget that I was ever here
And so will I, with any luck
