I was born from an angel, she raised me properly
I knew what I wasn't to do, I knew what I wasn't to see
But when you reach a certain age, your destiny it comes to life
So don't you bite the hand that feeds you, or it may cut you with its knife
It permeates all through my bones
I let it live, I help it grow
I said my cup it runeth over, well I'm gonna let it flow
So I shot a man in Indy, just to watch him die
My mother asked me if it pleased me
And I couldn't tell a lie
Now Jesus died for them, it's true
But what's a devil to do?
Oh, when the saints go marching in
I won't be there, 'cause I love my sin
Am I so bad that you hate me?
There was a time when I could see
My hopes and dreams, they are no more
I'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor
Oh man, forgive me, I turned away
I won't come back, so I'll have to pay
I have to pay
There's rules to life I know
And if you follow them you'll go
Up to the mountains and the clouds
And where the golden rivers flow
But I've always been so good at breaking all the rules
I wasn't made to be their robot
And I ain't nobody's fool
I am the goat that got away
But I know there will come a day
When I'll be punished for my mind
'Cause I led myself astray
I am a work of art, I know
I was created down below
And if it's evil that you're planting
Then it's evil that will grow
Now Jesus died for them, it's true
But what's a devil to do?
Oh, wen the saints go marching in
I won't be there, 'cause I love my sin
Am I so bad that you hate me?
There was a time when I could see
My hopes and dreams, they are no more
I'm not a rich man, but blessed are the poor
Oh man, forgive me, I turned away
I won't come back, so I'll have to pay
I have to pay
I have to pay
I knew what I wasn't to do, I knew what I wasn't to see
But when you reach a certain age, your destiny it comes to life
So don't you bite the hand that feeds you, or it may cut you with its knife
It permeates all through my bones
I let it live, I help it grow
I said my cup it runeth over, well I'm gonna let it flow
So I shot a man in Indy, just to watch him die
My mother asked me if it pleased me
And I couldn't tell a lie
Now Jesus died for them, it's true
But what's a devil to do?
Oh, when the saints go marching in
I won't be there, 'cause I love my sin
Am I so bad that you hate me?
There was a time when I could see
My hopes and dreams, they are no more

Oh man, forgive me, I turned away
