I recognise no method of living that i know
I see only the basic materials i may use

If you ask me, i may tell you
It's been this way for years

I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul

I understand you're facing problems inside you
A certain difficulty of being that i know too

You may ask me why do i fail
Just when i'm needed

I play my red guitar
It's the devil in the flesh
It's the iron in my soul

If you ask me, i may tell you
It's been this way for years
