This Devil’s Workday Lyrics

[Chorus]
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
Floating in the river are logs


[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
Floating in the river are logs

[Verse 2]
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?


[Chorus]
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
All those people that you know
Floating in the river are gone
[Verse 3]
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


[Chorus]
All those people that you know
All the people that you know
All those people that you know
Floating in the river are logs

[Verse 4]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Track 9 on Good News For People Who Love Bad News, This Devil’s Workday seems out of place compared to other tracks on the album. It follows a story about a criminal or an outlaw going mad.
