    The impact of the song lessens if he uses a smoother voice. The “devil” voice suits it perfectly. That’s why it’s called God’s Away on Business.

    I believe this was written for the Enron documentary–it is the song at the end at credits. The name of it is Enron: The smartest guys in the room. All who listen here need to see that documentary. Then this song will make complete sense……..
