Cast me down where the devil don't go 
 Devil don't go where I make my home 
 Cast me down where the devil don't go 
 Devil don't go where I make my home 
    Drown my woes in a lake of fire 
 Sing a song gonna take me higher 
 Drown my woes in a lake of fire 
 Sing a song gonna take me higher   
 Good lord turned his back on me 
 Lucifer gonna set me free 
 Good lord turned his back on me 
 Lucifer gonna set me free   
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Never got no good doing what I'm told 
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Now you'll find me where the devil don't go 
 Where the devil don't go   
 Preacher man won't cut no slack 
 Called my demons but gave them back 
 Preacher man won't cut no slack 
 Called my demons but gave them back   
 Bruised my knees getting down to pray 
 Warm the pan til my judgement day 
 Bruised my knees getting down to pray 
 Warm the pan til my judgement day   
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Never got no good doing what I'm told 
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Now you'll find me where the devil don't go 
 Where the devil don't go   
 Cast me down where the devil don't go 
 Devil don't go where I make my home 
 Cast me down where the devil don't go 
 Devil don't go where I make my home   
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Never got no good doing what I'm told 
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Now you'll find me where the devil don't go   
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Never got no good doing what I'm told 
 It's a mean world that I've known 
 Now you'll find me where the devil don't go 
 Where the devil don't go   
 Cast me down where the devil don't go 
 Devil don't go where I make my home 
 Cast me down where the devil don't go
