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 myself both times
And laugh until I cry
Oh Lord
Please make me pure
But not yet
Don`t have to try
I just dial it in
I`ve never found a job
That for me was worth bothering
I`ve 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
That every president
Get 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 the lies
Oh Lord
Please make me pure
But not yet
