So I 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 Oh Lord, make me pure - but not yet
Tell a joke Tell it twice If no-one else is laughing then why am I I split my sides both times and laugh till I cry Oh Lord, please make me pure - but not yet
I don't have to try 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 Oh Lord, make me pure - but not yet
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 Oh Lord, make me pure - but not yet
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?
So I look for love I like the search And I'll be standing for election all across the known universe Every president gets the country she deserves Oh Lord, make me pure - but not yet
And I've 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 Oh Lord, please make me pure - not ye
