He was telling lies as a faint disguise for the trouble he’s been in. He lost an important contest and he still claims he can win. And now he’s got receipts for some senate seats and he wants to cash ‘em in. The Demon focused on himself and he tried to swing a deal When he said, “Hey Kemp, you pathetic wimp there’s some votes you need to steal.” But Kemp refused to do it. He had visions of parole and he didn’t see an ascendency ‘cause he’d already sold his soul. The orange demon’s done this stuff before. Will it work? Well, it’s hard to tell. What he’s all about might be played out ‘cause his game has gone to hell. Georgia is evolving from the ways of the Old South When thinly veiled white racist rhetoric spewed forth from their mouths. They’re younger and more racially diverse than e’er before. And If they win the South will hear their roar. On one side Ossoff and Warnock who wanna help the people out. On the other Loeffler and Perdue Let me tell you what they’re about. Loeffler’s got priorities protecting her 800 mil, she’s out of touch and she doesn’t care much just making’ money on the Hill. Perdue’s not unfamiliar with the smell of a crooked deal There was money made from the Covid aid that he’s anxious to conceal. The orange one claims election fraud. His cult repeats it and applauds. The people need to take control of the battle ground for the country’s soul. Republicans’ got a strategy to simply lie and smear, painting wild imagery of scary radicals to fear. But there’s a power loose in Georgia we ain’t seen down there before and those good ol’ boys with their golden toys should be lookin’ for the door. Georgia is evolving from it’s place in the Old South When thinly veiled white racist rhetoric came their mouth They’re younger and more racially diverse than e’er before And If they win the South will hear their roar. SOURCE MATERiAL The Devil Went Down to Georgia The song is written in the key of D minor. Vassar Clements originally wrote the basic melody an octave lower, in a tune called "Lonesome Fiddle Blues" released on Clements' self-titled 1975 album on which Charlie Daniels played guitar. The Charlie Daniels Band moved it up an octave and put words to it. The song's verses are closer to being spoken rather than sung (i.e., recitation), and tell the story of a young man named Johnny, in a variant on the classic deal with the Devil. The performances of Satan and Johnny are played as instrumental bridges. The song was the band's biggest hit, reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100, prevented from further chart movement by "After The Love Has Gone" by Earth, Wind and Fire and "My Sharona" by The Knack.
