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 yet
