Woke up dead, you know I woke up deadGive me time to get it through my headThey hanged me by the neck, I heard the devil laughI was a nervous wreck, I was the first in lineDo you want to look right in the devil's face?You must have seen the ground where we upheld the LawI was a young man then, I was a young man thenSpending time on the killing floorDo as you would want to beJoy of labour, sets you freeWoke up scared, you know I woke up scaredGive me time to show you, how I wound up thereThey put me in a cell, I heard the ghost in thereI wasn't feeling well, I was the first in lineDo you want see right through the devil's eyes?You must have seen the ground where they all stood beforeI was a young man then, I was a young man thenSpending time on the killing floorBe more than you seem to beJoy of labour, sets you freeWoke up dead, you know I woke up deadI was the only one, that saw the road aheadThey beat me with their fistsI did the devil's workAnd I was on their list, I was the first in lineDo you even know what the devil doesHe drives a man 'til he can't take no moreI was a young man then, I was a young man thenSpending time on the killing floor
