I thought God was supposed to be all forgiving?
To those who believe it….run amok
Hey, I’m so sorry I lied
But you see man, my hands were tied
Was just a little white lie
This is our last goodbye, I’ve been cast aside
So you don’t forgive crime
Guess there’ll be no next time
In your name there was mass killing
I thought I was your son
Lived my life on the run
So take me I’m ready and willing
To go
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
Hey, sorry I stole your wallet
It was sticking way out of your pocket
Temptation was there
You’re still unaware, so don’t sweat it
So you don’t forgive crime
Guess there’ll be no next time
In your name there was mass killing
I thought I was your son
Lived my life on the run
So take me I’m ready and willing
To go
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
Hey, sorry I stabbed you
Had no choice man you see, I had to
Wrong time, the wrong place
You climb Heaven’s staircase, your time was due
So you don’t forgive crime
Guess there’ll be no next time
In your name there was mass killing
I thought I was your son
Lived my life on the run
So take me I’m ready and willing
To go
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
God, been knocking’ but there’s no one in
My patience now is wearing thin
No answer
God, I’m standing at your pearly gate
I’m thinking that there’s been a mistake
No answer
Hey, sorry I shot you
Sorry that you were a cop too
Wanted to have me some fun
Wasn’t me, was the gun that stopped you
God forgive me of my crime
So you don’t forgive crime
Guess there’ll be no next time
In your name there was mass killing
I thought I was your son
Lived my life on the run
So take me I’m ready and willing
To go
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
Hey man sorry I sinned
Does this mean that you won’t let me in?
I thought you’re all forgiving
Now I’m no longer living, the devil’s grinning
So you don’t forgive crime
Guess there’ll be no next time
In your name there was mass killing
I thought I was your son
Lived my life on the run
So take me I’m ready and willing
To go
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
I’ll do better next time
God, been knocking’ but there’s no one in
My patience now is wearing thin
No answer
God, I’m standing at your pearly gate
I’m thinking that there’s been a mistake
No answer
God, been knocking’ but there’s no one in
My patience now is wearing thin
No answer
God, I’m standing at your pearly gate
I’m thinking that there’s been a mistake
No answer
I’ll do better next time
