There's only a stairway to heaven
but there's a highway to hell
surely the flow of the traffic 
is tolling the wrong bell

we sing songs of redemption
while enslaved in chains
and the devil himself 
is counting his gains

the rich become richer 
the poor remain the same
Lucifer is laughing
at the thought of this game

man takes a step forward
then takes three back
the devil is counting 
the souls in his stack

it's too late to trade
when your life has gone
the money in your bank 
adds up to none

should have been more thoughtful
when you had a chance
but you chased dreams of riches
the devils own dance

now we know why 
there's a highway to hell
the blind lead the blind
with the stories they tell
