I know a thing about contrition
'Cause I got enough to say
And I'll be grantin' your permission

Cause you haven't got a prayer
I said, hey, hallelujah
Well come on, sing the praise

Let the spirit come on through ya
We got innocence for days


Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down
She says well, what I wanna say

Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man

Kick me like a slave
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave


Well a ring around the ambulance
Like I never gave a care

I said, choir boys surround you
It's a compliment, I swear
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down

I wanna hear you sing the praise
I said, ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days


Well I think I'm gonna burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

She says, yeah, what I wanna say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a slave
Tell me I'm an angel

Take this to my grave

You better walk like the devil,

Cause they're never gonna leave you

You better hide 'em in the alley

Cause they're never gonna find you a home

And as the blood runs down the walls

You see me creepin' up these halls

We're bad mother$#&@ers

We're bad mother$#&@ers

Well I should say, what I wanna say

Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man

Kick me like a slave
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave


Tell me I'm a bad man, bad man: man
Tell me I'm a bad man, bad man: man
