Shrug of the Year Lyrics by Ruff Majik

The Devil’s Cattle

2020

(It's hideous, and it's eloquent. It expresses modern man in all his self pity.)
I saw the vortex
I saw the maelstrom coming up
I tied these stones to my feet
And I don't give a good god damn about your sympathy
You bring the paddle, I'll bring the sea
I'm quite content with this sacrament
Baptize me in the deep
Just leave my body in the foam
I'll find my own way home
Yeah I know I did it to myself
Yeah I've heard that I am dirt
Yeah I've got a chip on my shoulder
My friends call me Atlas
So build my altar from sticks and stones
Come out in droves, lay down your bones
So build me my altar from sticks and stones
Come out in droves, lay down your bones
I saw the crossroads
I saw Mephistopheles and I ain't got no soul to lease
And I don't give a good god damn about your sympathy
You bring the shovel, I'll help you dig
I work and toil
Oh damn this mortal coil
Back on the bottle, back to the soil
Just leave me be, oh let me roam
I'll find my to the throne
Yeah I know I did it to myself
Yeah I've heard that I am dirt
Yeah I got a chip on my shoulder
My friends call me Atlas
So build my altar from sticks and stones
Come out in droves, lay down your bones
So build me my altar from sticks and stones
Come out in droves, lay down your bones
