Well I can dip my head in the river
Cleanse my soul...oh
I'll still have the stomach of a sinner
Face like an unholy ghost
Will you save me all the soliloquies
Paid my fines, I'll be
Gone before my deliverance
Preach what you write, cause I don't mind

I don't mind be holy, so leave me alone
Are you, oh, so holy, that I'll never be good enough
