Make Me Pure

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

Oh Lord

Make me pure

But not yet

I tell a joke

Tell it twice

If noone else is laughin'

Then why am I

I split my sides both times

And laugh until 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'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 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 looked for love

I like to search

And I'll be standing for election

All across the known universe

And every president'll 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

END
