Well I left school in December
Exalted company I was among
The speaker gave us such brilliant advice
to “seize the day when you're young.”
So I hit the information resource
Saw hot jobs at monster.com
And with thorough inspection, I made a connection
Walked right in and sat right down
"You've got the skills and essentials"
The boss shot without delay
"I'm enthralled with your credentials, when can you start?"
I told him, "right away."
"There's unlimited income potential."
"You get entered in our 401K."
But as we discussed medical and dental
It was then I thought I heard him say, "HEY!"
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Well the future's bright now with us you must agree
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Sometime later, I was down at the barroom wasted
With some girl that just wouldn't be gone
So sure enough with that insatiable fluff
I had to put my sales hat on
Rolled on into her apartment
And so convinced that I was her kind
She strapped me to a torture rack
and wanted ownership of my mind, she said
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Don't you know, don't you know you can't resist what will be
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
SAVE ME!!!
So I packed in the jobs and some girlfriends
For my distinguished career in song
But what do you know? Everywhere you go
It's the same old thing you have to be among
"Come here son and sign this contract.
I'm a good-old boy I won't let you down.
Percentage royalty, non-recoupable advance,
This record's gonna be the hit of the town.” Alright!
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Use your eyes, use your eyes, just look and you will see
Sell Your Soul, Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me
Sell Your Soul, just look and you will see
Sell Your Soul, you can't resist what will be
Sell Your Soul, and resign yourself to me, YEAH!
