People fear the devil
People bow to God
Meanwhile they complain
That they can’t beat the odds
But the devil doesn’t control you
God doesn’t pave your road
The beast is both good and evil
You’ve got to learn to crack the code
You want love, you want peace?
You’ve got to learn to tame the beast
You often wonder when shall you be released?
When you learn to tame the beast
You think your luck is bad
And her luck is good
Meanwhile you keep on living
In that rundown neighborhood
Now she’s out there making
Her own dreams come true
You’re just praising and blaming
Everything but you
You want love, you want peace?
You’ve got to learn to tame the beast
You often wonder when shall you be released?
You’ve got to learn to tame the beast
Well, there ain’t no church
And there ain’t no bar
There ain’t no prayer
Or lucky star
You’ve gotta rise up
From your own slumber
Baby, if you ever need a helping hand
You’ve got my number
You want love, you want peace?
You’ve got to learn to tame the beast
You wanna know when shall you be released?
You’ve got to learn to tame the beast
