Mysterious Ways from Lazy Travellers by The Lovely Basement

When the Devil woke up today
Cleared last night’s dishes from the table
Thought about making a ‘to-do’ list, wrote some things down
Put the coffee on, stared out the window
Cursing God, cursing God

The job’s outsourced, and what’s worse, they work for free
The Devil needs a union too
The Devil needs a union too

By mid-afternoon the Devil was engaged in some serious self-talk
“Do not think about going to the bar
I’m smart, I’m creative, I’m the fucking Devil for Christ’s sake; get your shit together”
By late afternoon, the Devil was in the bar

By late evening the Devil was talking to God again
“They have less respect for your creation than I do. Christ!
The little fucks are into every evil thing before I can birth it
Are you really so spiteful you’d throw away this whole world for a grudge?
Dick. Mysterious ways my ass”
