Make Me Pure
So I sing a songTo reel 'em inIt's a song I sung beforeAnd a song I'm gonna sing againI mean every wordI don't mean a single one of themOh Lord, make me pure- but not yet
Tell a jokeTell it twiceIf no-one else is laughing then why am II split my sides both times and laugh till I cryOh Lord, please make me pure- but not yet
I don't have to tryI just dial it inI've never found a job that for me was worth botheringI got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bonesBeneath this skinOh Lord, make me pure- but not yet
Smoking killsSex sellsI've got one hand in my pocket but the other one looks cool as hellI know I'm gonna die so my revenge is living wellOh Lord, make me pure- but not yet
I stopped prayingSo I hope this song will doI wrote it all for youI'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 loveI like the searchAnd I'll be standing for election all across the known universeEvery president gets the country she deservesOh Lord, make me pure- but not yet
And I've been seeingSomebody's wifeShe said she'd leave him for me and I said that wasn't wiseYou can't lie to a liar because of all liesOh Lord, please make me pure- not yet
