Lyrics

[Verse 1] He got the devil around his finger Jesus around his neck No one wants him in this world Or the fucking next Don't you wanna know why? Oh, don't you wanna know why? He gonna leave this world by anger By gun smoke or by rope Only ever loved a woman in his life A little lady named Misanthrope Don't you wanna know why? Oh, don't you wanna know why? [Chorus] 'Cause Jesus in the courtyard telling lies Jesus in the courtyard telling lies Satan's in the cornfield starting fires Jesus in the courtyard telling lies [Post-Chorus] Oh, Lord Oh, Lord [Verse 2] He's all dressed in black as midnight Your funeral's his church Your misery's his company Your sorrow is his hearse Don't you wanna know why? Oh, don't you wanna know why? Jesus will not save him A savior will not rise Satan kissed him on his cheek Said his last goodbye Don't you wanna know why? Oh, don't you wanna know why? [Chorus] 'Cause Jesus in the courtyard telling lies Jesus in the courtyard telling lies Satan's in the cornfield starting fires Jesus in the courtyard telling lies [Post-Chorus] Oh, Lord Oh, Lord
