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.
[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
