Ed Arnold - God Save the People Lyrics

Some sinners slither some walk around real tall
They make it so easy they just come when I call
The holy ones just take a little longer to fall
But they all come down to play
Now boss you gave me this gig and I'd say I've over-performed
And you were so very kind to put me someplace warm
But the weak have made me weary and I've been working so long
I could really use a day
So God save the people
God save the people
God save the people
Oh the Devil needs a little rest
Yeah all 'o' this smitin's such a tiresome task
And the benefits are not what they seem
My blood pressure's boiling and I ain't tryin to complain
But how about 3 weeks off, a little cabin up in Maine
Serving up a measly apple to what's his face and Eve
I barely broke a sweat I got better tricks up my sleeve
And remember them dark ages, I thought they'd never learn
It's like they're just were begging to burn
And now they got the newfangled wifi they got the freedom and the vice
And boss I always try to warn 'em but it's like they wanna pay twice
I'm starting to feel bad I kinda wanna give 'em a hand
But that just ain't my brand
God save the people
God save the people
God save the people
Oh the devil needs a little rest
I thought we had a deal, that we would divvy up the fun
But nowadays it seems that I get each and every one
I need a little break, and I don't wanna make you sore
But I've been doing my job, how bout you do yours
God save the people oh oh
God save the people c'mon
God save the people
Oh the devil needs a little rest
Oh God save the people c'mon
God save the people
God save the people
Oh the devil needs a little rest
Oh the devil gotta catch his breath
Oh they ain't gonna save themselves
Oh the devil needs a little rest
