It's like trying to stay sober
In a river of wine
Or trying to find a silver lining where the Sun won't shine
We all die for the diamonds, the gold and the pearls
And hell, it's hard to find heaven in a devil's world

Lord knows I've tried
To right all the wrongs
But the wrongs feel so right
Lord, let me follow your word
'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world

You can call me a sinner
But I was born this way
In the land of lost angels
Where the darkness plays
Every day a new demon
Every night a new girl
And it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world

Lord knows I've tried
To right all the wrongs
But the wrongs feel so right
Lord, let me follow your word
'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world

Lord, won't you make it make sense now?
What do you want from me now?
If this is your plan
Help me understand

I've been searching for answers
For so many years
I believe there's a Jesus
But I ain't found him down here
So won't you send down a sign
And show me which way to turn?
'Cause hell, it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world

Lord knows I've tried (Lord knows I've tried)
To right all the wrongs
But the wrongs feel so right (wrongs feel so right)
Lord, let me follow your word (follow)
'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world
'Cause it's hard to find heaven in the devil's world
Why did you leave us
In the devil's world?
