Joy of Labour
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead
Give me time to get it through my head
They hanged me by the neck, I heard the Devil laugh
I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line
Do you want to look right in the Devil's face?
You must have seen the ground where we upheld the Law
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending time on the killing floor
Do as you would want to be
Joy of labour, sets you free
Woke up scared, you know I woke up scared
Give me time to show you, how I wound up there
They put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in there
I wasn't feeling well, I was the first in line
Do you want see right through the Devil's eyes?
You must've seen the ground where they all stood before
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending my time on the killing floor
Be more than you seem to be
Joy of labour, sets you free
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead
I was the only one, that saw the road ahead
They beat me with their fists, I did the Devil's work
And I was on their list, I was the first in line
Do you even know just what the Devil does?
He drives a man 'til he can't take no more
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Serving my time on the killing floor
Give me time to get it through my head
They hanged me by the neck, I heard the Devil laugh
I was a nervous wreck, I was the first in line
Do you want to look right in the Devil's face?
You must have seen the ground where we upheld the Law
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending time on the killing floor
Do as you would want to be
Joy of labour, sets you free
Woke up scared, you know I woke up scared
Give me time to show you, how I wound up there
They put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in there
I wasn't feeling well, I was the first in line
Do you want see right through the Devil's eyes?
You must've seen the ground where they all stood before
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Spending my time on the killing floor
Be more than you seem to be
Joy of labour, sets you free
Woke up dead, you know I woke up dead
I was the only one, that saw the road ahead
They beat me with their fists, I did the Devil's work
And I was on their list, I was the first in line
Do you even know just what the Devil does?
He drives a man 'til he can't take no more
I was a young man then, I was a young man then
Serving my time on the killing floor
