Pray for the Wicked |
On your knees, on your knees |
On your knees, on your knees |
Pray for the wicked |
Pray for the wicked world |
Pray for the wicked |
We got to pray for the wicked |
Adam told Eve in a lover’s quarrel |
Should’ve never shook that apple tree |
Ever since that day we got a messed-up world |
Evil sin has found its company |
Got a sheik in the desert, a pope in Rome |
Got a synagogue around my block |
And they all got the answers, but one thing’s clear |
Only God knows how much time we got |
Pray for the wicked |
Pray for the wicked world |
Pray for the wicked |
We got to pray for the wicked |
Sodom and Gomorrah burned down in flames |
Met their makers at the gates of hell |
In our big tall cities, it’s a crying shame |
Desperate people, broken souls to sell |
It’s an ancient old story, a child is born |
Soon he learns to make the devil dance |
Shakes his fist at heaven and turns his back |
On his knees he gets a second chance |
Pray for the wicked |
Pray for the wicked world |
Pray for the wicked |
We got to pray for the wicked |
On your knees, get down on your knees |
On your knees, I’m begging you, please |
On your knees, get down on your knees |
On your knees! |
Wow, oh, yeah |
For the wages of sin is death |
And death rides a pale horse |
And hell follows with him |
But if you haven’t sinned |
Pray for the wicked |
Pray for the wicked world |
Pray for the wicked |
We got to pray for the wicked |
Yeah, yeah, yeah |
Pray for the wicked |
(Oh! Get down on your knees) |
Pray for the wicked world |
(And pray) |
Pray for the wicked |
(Ow! Get down on your knees) |
We got to pray for the wicked |
And pray for the wicked |
Pray for the wicked |
Ow! |
Are we ready! |
Yeah, whoa-whoa-whoa, yeah |
