Devil's Work Is Never Done

He was pretty sure he didn't believe in Heaven But there at the end he wasn’t quite sure And I almost lost that lousy son-of-a-bitch After fifty years of damn hard work Every year they say it should get a little better Cause this world is going straight to Hell But they ain’t never stood on this side of the shovel Hell ain’t a kingdom it’s a hole if you can’t tell Chorus: It looks so easy sounds so damn simple You think these souls fall right outta the sky? Jesus back off, this one’s mine Working all day hustling and a slaving Just another soul somebody thought that they could save Chalk me up another one The Devil’s work is never done You and you’re father think you’re so damn clever With your forgiveness and your talk about love But I’ve been busting my ass and it’s high time You showed some respect for the work I’ve done You cry when you lose them You bleed for every last one A bunch a sore losers Is what I think you’ve become Chorus You guys always seem to get all the good ones The poor and needy downtrodden masses Sometimes the whole deck’s stacked against ‘em But still I can’t break ‘em, their hearts are the truest of the pack Seems like all you ever leave me Are all these poster child souls who think they’re above the fold You know the ones with their high profiles But they got no timber in their souls The famous and the powerful Those Deceitful wagers of wars And all those Goddamned politicians They very ones that evoke your name just for a damn vote Lord Chorus
