| He got the devil around his finger
|
| Jesus around his neck
|
| No one wants him in this world
|
| Or the fucking next
|
| Don’t you wanna know why?
|
| Oh, don’t you wanna know why?
|
| He gonna leave this world by anger
|
| By gun smoke or by rope
|
| Only ever loved a woman in his life
|
| A little lady named Misanthrope
|
| Don’t you wanna know why?
|
| Oh, don’t you wanna know why?
|
| 'Cause Jesus in the courtyard telling lies
|
| Jesus in the courtyard telling lies
|
| Satan’s in the cornfield starting fires
|
| Jesus in the courtyard telling lies
|
| Oh, Lord
|
| Oh, Lord
|
| He’s all dressed in black as midnight
|
| Your funeral’s his church
|
| Your misery’s his company
|
| Your sorrow is his hearse
|
| Don’t you wanna know why?
|
| Oh, don’t you wanna know why?
|
| Jesus will not save him
|
| A savior will not rise
|
| Satan kissed him on his cheek
|
| Said his last goodbye
|
| Don’t you wanna know why?
|
| Oh, don’t you wanna know why?
|
| 'Cause Jesus in the courtyard telling lies
|
| Jesus in the courtyard telling lies
|
| Satan’s in the cornfield starting fires
|
| Jesus in the courtyard telling lies
|
| Oh, Lord
|
| Oh, Lord |
