Chorus
when we donīt get what we deserve thatīs a real good thing
when we get what we donīt deserve
thatīs a real good thing

born to sin
and then get caught
all our good deeds
donīt mean squat

sell the Volvo
shred the Visa
send the cash to Ma Theresa
great idea
the only catch is
you donīt get saved
on merit badges

- Chorus -

doctorīs coming
looking grim
"Do you have a favorite hymn?"

check your balance through the years
all accounts are in arrears
guilt is bitter
grace is sweet
park it here
on the mercy seat

- Chorus -
