I recognise no method of living that I know

I see only the basic materials I may use

If you ask me, I may tell you

It's been this way for years

I play my red guitar

It's the devil in the flesh

It's the iron in my soul

I play my red guitar

It's the devil in the flesh

It's the iron in my soul

I understand you're facing problems inside you

A certain difficulty of being that I know too

You may ask me why do I fail

Just when I'm needed

I play my red guitar

It's the devil in the flesh

It's the iron in my soul

I play my red guitar

It's the devil in the flesh

It's the iron in my soul

I play my red guitar

It's the devil in the flesh

It's the iron in my soul

If you ask me, I may tell you

It's been this way for years
