Lord it is easy
to be a sinner.
it is difficult
to live like a Saint.
It takes no effort
to get very high
and cover downtown
with cans of spray paint.
Lord it is truly more fun
to chill and shot pool
then to read your laws
in Sunday school.
Lord you know when scantily
dressed girls slither in.
My thoughts fly like arrows
to forbidden sin.
Lord you know for me
it is no trouble at all
To spin any outright lie
To avoid a fall.
Lord not being presumptuous,
Between you and me
Just reverse your set program
That is plain to see
Tighten up the great pleasure
Of committing sin.
Make being saintly the real joy
That you built in.
Lord we are your servants
Trying to exist.
We can use your help to
Avoid the abyss.
