lyrics

The devil in these idle hands
Seizes a fix
Locates the vein and a crucifix
Buys the hammer and the nails
Measures the beams
Leans in and rolls up its sleeves

Do what you will, I won’t waste my time
I know that I’m powerless
I’d much prefer to lend a hand and
Act like I’m grateful

If this doesn’t kill me, just know that’s
What I’ve really wanted
What better way to go out than on your favorite vice?

If I had the answer, I’d tie a
Cinder block round its neck
And throw it in the river just to watch it sink

If this doesn’t kill me, just know that’s
What I’ve really wanted
What better way to go out than on your favorite vice?

If I had the answer, I’d tie a
Cinder block round its neck
And throw it in the river just to watch it sink

I can’t believe this power you have over me
I can’t believe this power you have over me
