This Devil's Workday

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

All those people that you know

All those people that you know

All those people that you know

Floatin' in the river are logs

I could buy myself a reason

I could sell myself a job

I could hang myself on treason

All the folks I know are gone

All the people that you know

All the people that you know

All the people that you know

Floatin' in the river are logs

So I ate the wedding cake

'Til the whole damn thing was gone

And I'm gonna drown the ocean

Now ain't none o' that so wrong?

All the people that you know

All those people that you know

All those people that you know

Floatin' in the river are gone

Gonna take this sack of puppies

Gonna set it out to freeze

Gonna climb around on all fours

'Til all the blood falls out my knees

All the people that you know

All the people that you know

All those people that you know

Floatin' in the river are logs

Well let's take this potted plant

To the woods and set it free

I'm gonna tell the owners

Just how nice that was of me

I could buy myself a reason

I could sell myself a job

I could hang myself on treason

Oh, I am my own damn god

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
