Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Well, I know a thing about contrition
Because I got enough to spare
And I'll be granting your permission
Cause you haven't got a prayer
Well, I said hey, hey, hallelujah
I'm going to come on sing the praise
And let the spirit come on through you
We got innocence for days!

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I think I'm going to burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

[Chorus]
And say, ha
What I want to say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

[Post-Chorus]
(S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N
S-I-N, I S-I-N)

[Verse 2]
You play ring around the ambulance
Well, like you never gave a care
So get the choir boys around you
It's a compliment, I swear
And I said ashes to ashes, we all fall down
I want to hear you sing the praise
I said ashes to ashes, we all fall down
We got innocence for days!

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I think I'm going to burn in hell
Everybody burn the house right down

[Chorus]
And say, ha
What I want to say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

[Bridge]
You better run like the devil
Cause they're never going to leave you alone
You better hide up in the alley
Cause they're never going to find you a home
And as the blood runs down the walls
You see me creepin' up these halls
I been a bad motherfucker
Tell yer sister I'm another
Go! Go! Go!

[Chorus]
And say, ha
What I want to say
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave
Tell me I'm a bad man
Kick me like a stray
Tell me I'm an angel
Take this to my grave

[Outro]
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
Tell me I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad man
So get up!
So get out!
S-I-N, I S-I-N!
