Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some will sing a song to reel 'em in
It's a song I sung before
And a song I'm gonna sing again
I mean every word, I don't mean a single one of them
[Verse 2]
Oh, Lord, make me pure
But not yet
[Verse 3]
We don't have to drive, I just dial it in
I've never found a job that for me was worth bothering
I got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones
Beneath this skin
[Verse 4]
Oh, Lord, please make me pure
But not yet
[Verse 5]
Smoking kills, sex sells
I've got one hand in my pocket
But the other one looks cool as hell
I know I'm gonna die so my revenge is living well
[Verse 6]
Oh, Lord, make me pure
But not yet
[Verse 7]
I stopped praying, so I hope this song will do
I wrote it all for you
I'm not perfect but you don't mind that, do you?
I know you're there to pull me through, aren't you?
[Verse 8]
So I look for love, I like the search
And I'll be standing for election
All across the known universe
Let every president get the country she deserves
[Verse 9]
Oh, Lord, make me pure
But not yet
[Verse 10]
And I been seeing somebody's wife
She said she'd leave him for me
And I said that wasn't wise
You can't lie to a liar because of all lies
[Verse 11]
Oh, Lord, please make me pure
But not yet
