Motörhead - Joy of Labour lyrics

[Motörhead - Joy of Labour lyrics]

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 have seen the ground
Where they all stood before
I was a young man then
I was a young man then
Spending 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 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
Spending time on the killing floor
