Last night the Devil came out to play with me
Singing "Let the games begin"
You know the harder I try to play his game
The more impossible to win

And I wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams

Playing for some dime-store rate of exchange
Laughing all the way
You know it doesn't really matter what they put us through
As long as we get to play

And I wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams

Feeling the crowd on a (hot summer/cold winter/etc.) night
Freedom to call the tunes
You know you're the ones we came here for
And we won't be leaving soon

And we wonder aloud
Do they understand what the music means
You know a baby
Is singing the blues when it first screams

And we wonder aloud
We wonder aloud
Wonder, wonder, wonder aloud
