Lyrics

[Verse 1] So I sing a song to reel 'em in It's a song I've sung before And a song I'm gonna sing again I mean every word I don't mean a single one of them [Refrain] Oh Lord, make me pure But not yet [Verse 2] Tell a joke, tell it twice If no one else is laughing then why am I I split my sides both times and laugh until I cry [Refrain] Oh Lord, please make me pure But not yet [Verse 3] 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 [Refrain] Oh Lord, make me pure But not yet [Verse 4] 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 [Refrain] Oh Lord, make me pure But not yet [Bridge] 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? [Verse 5] 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 [Refrain] Oh Lord, make me pure But not yet [Verse 6] 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 [Refrain] Oh Lord, please make me pure Not yet
