Ain't Gonna Go to Hell for Anybody (Live Apr. 24, 1980)

I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody

I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody

I can manipulate people as well as anybody
Bust 'em and burn 'em, twist 'em and turn 'em
I can make believe I'm in love with anybody
Hold 'em and control 'em, squeeze 'em and tease 'em
But I know what satisfies the flesh that it feeds
I've been down that road, I know where it leads

And I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow, no never, no way!

I can twist the truth as well as anybody
Wine 'em and dine 'em, find 'em and blind 'em
I can mislead people as well as anybody
I've got division, to cause any kind of division
But I don't always stand above, I know I've got control
To gain the whole world and lose my soul

And I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Not for father, not for mother
Not for sister, not for brother, no way!

Smokin' rises for ever, on a one-way ticket to burn
A place reserved for the devil
And for all of those that done evil
A place of darkness and shame, you can never return

I can rob and steal as well as anybody
I know how to do it, I'll probably see you to it
I can influence people as well as anybody
I know what to tell 'em, I can name 'em or wear 'em
But I don't need no love unless it be God's
I see through man's delusions, I see through his facades

And I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Not for father, not for mother
For sister, not for brother, no way!

I can manipulate people as well as anybody
Bust 'em and burn 'em, twist 'em and turn 'em
I can make believe I'm in love with almost anybody
Hold 'em and control 'em, squeeze 'em and tease 'em
But it don't suit my purposes and it ain't my goal
To gain the whole world, and lose my soul

I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody
Not for father, not for mother
Not for sister, not for brother, no way!
