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
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
