lyrics

Forgiven
The wealth of the rich is their fortified city,
I’ll take it brick by brick I don’t need their pity,
I’ve walked these roads and I’ve seen plenty,
I’ve got many tall tales for the cognoscenti


She whispered in my ear,
You sure as hell ain’t going to heaven,
Dante’s got it all mapped out for me, but
The last thing I want is to be forgiven

The unrighteous will not enter the kingdom of God,
But what the hell does being unrighteous involve?
Can’t keep up with the moral tectonics,
Right or wrong it’s a matter of optics.

She whispered in my ear,
You sure as hell ain’t going to heaven,
Dante’s got it all mapped out for me, but
The last thing I want is to be forgiven

In order to eat you’ve got to be hungry
In order to love you’ve got to hate somebody
You’ll get advice on who and what’s to be done,
You’ll get directions and your very own gun

She whispered in my ear,
You sure as hell ain’t going to heaven,
Dante’s got it all mapped out for me,
I’m headed for circles two, five and seven

Dante’s got it all mapped out for me, but
The last thing I want is to be forgiven
