Lyrics
He stumbles in at 3am drunk again with whiskey on his breath You lie in bed a-tremblin' your heart about to burst out of your chest You swear this time you'll leave him but Jesus and the saints know you won't Cause ya think the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't When you try to fall asleep the madness keeps entering your dreams Heaven ignores your prayers as you despair and stifle back your screams You're hoping that someday he'll go away but still you know he won't And you think the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't Wake up the jerk he's late for work Which is the worse the scolding or no pay Don't trust a man who'll raise his hand against ya lass Just stay out of his way You wait for the times to get better but you know they won't Still ya think the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't Ta me ar meisce Ta me ar buille Here he comes he's on the run Get out the gun and swallow back your fear It's gone on for far too long Suddenly it all becomes so clear You hope that God forgives you but you don't care even if he won't So you Send that devil that you know off to meet the devil that you don't
