Select language to translate this lyric
For thirty years they sang a song of promised victory
For who they fought and who had won
Didn't matter much to me
Well I've seen 'em drivin' down the streets
In their fancy shiny cars
And crowds of people to their feet
An' their faces full of scars
An' no pleasantries, no luxuries
And no fabled tales that failed
While innocents and wives spend all their lives
Them tryin' to find themselves
Well my backs been broken many times, but my spirit lingers on
The day has come my way that freedom just might well be gone
From hell to paradise, and I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise, and I'll always pay the price
This ninety mile trip has taken thirty years to make
They tried to keep forever, what was never theirs to take
Well I cursed and scratched the Devil's hand
As he stood in front of me
Had one last drag from his big cigar
And he finally set me free
From hell to paradise, and I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise, and I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise, and I'll always pay the price
From hell to paradise, and I'll always pay the price
