The Devil’s Peanut Butter Lyrics by My Morning Jacket
(The song is about knowing you shouldn’t indulge in daydreams and escapism, but doing it anyway to get through.)
Baby, I ain’t got lots of time or money
Baby, I ain’t got anything to do
But I’ll make believe that I could still conceive a way of getting through
Well I know I shouldn’t do it but I do
You like to build your living out of daydreams
You like to watch those daydreams turn to dust
You might never get enough or maybe you’ve had too much
You know you shouldn’t do it but you do
Who’s to say no one can do it better?
Who’s to say no one can do it all?
If I can’t believe in movie screens and leather
Then I won’t believe in anything at all
Single out a voice inside a chorus
And hear it singing, ringing out to you
And make believe that you can still conceive a way of getting through
Well you know you shouldn’t do it but you do
Who’s to say no one can do it better?
Who’s to say no one can do it all?
If I can’t believe in movie screens and leather
Then I won’t believe in anything
Won’t believe in anything
Won’t believe in anything at all
