Bruce Springsteen - Devils & Dust Lyrics






I got my finger on the trigger
But I don't know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
There's just devils and dust
We're a long, long way from home, Bobbie
Home's a long, long way from us
I feel a dirty wind blowing
Devils and dust

I got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
And fill it with devils and dust

Well I dreamed of you last night
In a field of blood and stone
The blood began to dry
The smell began to rise
Well I dreamed of you last night, Bobbie
In a field of mud and bone
Your blood began to dry
And the smell began to rise

We've got God on our side
We're just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a powerful thing, baby
It'll turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo]

Now every woman and every man
They wanna take a righteous stand
Find the love that God wills
And the faith that He commands
I've got my finger on the trigger
And tonight faith just ain't enough
When I look inside my heart
There's just devils and dust

Well I've got God on my side
And I'm just trying to survive
What if what you do to survive
Kills the things you love
Fear's a dangerous thing
It can turn your heart black you can trust
It'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust
Yeah it'll take your God filled soul
Fill it with devils and dust

[Harmonica solo]

    This is a war song....
    I am surprised as an Indian to find that most of the Western people didn't get the soul of this song...✌️😊

  8. M.... B....

    Grande Boss

  9. B.... M....

    ..ooh yea! ! !

  10. C.... W....

    The power of the poet is by that he or she excavates from the deep to translate bucket loads of emotion and angst into poetry. Then reaching deep within the souls of others to make it rain with tears of love and its hurt.

  11. d.... b....

    Just the title alone is pure brilliance

  12. A.... N....

    They call it 'angel dust' because devils don't want angels around.

  43. M.... N....

    Springsteen is like Dylan to me. I can read your lyrics like poetry, but the songs do absolutely nothing for me. I know, my loss....🦍

    M.... N....

    I getcha 🍌🍌

  44. M.... d....

    Friend of mine went over to Vietnam when I was young. He came back and signed up for another tour and died in the Tet offensive. I never did understand why but this song does
    help to understand, he had left more than friends behind.

  45. M.... E....

    My wife's favorite artist. She's opened my eyes to Springsteen's genius.

  46. D.... t....

    Red dead redemption 2 anyone?

  47. F.... P....

    Only Bruce :)

  57. R.... R....

    Today for the whole world the Devil it's Trump and for USA it's the Hell and the darkness for still many years !
    What solution for you my American friends?
    Buy a lot of garlic and holy water to protect yourself, pray day and night or make the right choice for mid-term elections ...
    Good luck !

  58. T.... M....

    Impressiv...Thanks Boss ❤

  59. d.... l....

    The musical arrangement of this haunting song is so layered - moving from the heart pounds of Bruce's guitar, to suspenseful strings, battle beats of the rolling drums, interspersed with soulful harmonica solos; oh did I forget the thought-provoking lyrics - absolutely brilliant...

  60. d.... l....

    Oh God, when will Bruce get to make his Nobel Prize acceptance speech? More musicians deserve that accolade...

  61. U.... 0....

    Amazing song, I love Bruce Springsteen.

  62. M.... S....

    💖💞

  63. s.... q....

    this song should be played for anybody who thinks war is cool

  64. J.... B....

    A great song about addiction, and a great message to our veterans.

  65. B.... B....

    "Take your God-filled Soul and turn it to Devils & Dust"....Describes the clandestine subterranean based covert actions of Catalina Island, California. Synthetic telepathic nuero-impulse weapons...brainmapping, thought virus construction, etc. "That Hideous Strength".

  66. k.... m....

    Nobody feels it like Bruce, simply the greatest song writer of our times and, provider of memorable nights in concert, thanks Boss!

  67. J.... M....

    I love the way this song builds up to the finale (if you will) a great poet of our time - aren't we lucky?

  68. N.... J....

    One of Bruce's finest moments

  69. I.... H....

    To this day this song moves me so much, my father use to love when I sing it and Everytime I listen I see him smiling at the door . R.I.P.

  70. m.... m....

    Es magnífica. !!!
    Incredible. !!
    Para mí es una de las mejores canciones de Bruce Springsteen. !!
    Esa voz rota. .....es increíble. !!!

  71. P.... ....

    This, and the one from The Wrestler--Springsteen is humanity's voice.

  72. M.... L....

    love love

    on my birthday i got this album while we were moving out of our first home overwhelmed about it being hectic and in my head i heard the line "Fear's a powerful thing" this was the beginning of new sorts of sorrows but these days i can deal with it better now that i know my higher power.

    J.... B....

    i must confess that higher power is God.
