Make me pure

Some will sing a song

To reel 'em in

It's a song I sung before

And a song I'm gonna sing again

I mean every word

I don't mean a single one of them

Oh Lord, please make me pure

- but not yet

Tell a joke

Tell it twice

If no one else is laughing there why am I

I split my sides both times and laugh until I cry

Oh Lord, make me pure

- but not yet

Smoking kills

Sex sells

I've got one hand in my pocket but the other one looks cool as hell

Oh Lord, make me pure

- but not yet

I stopped praying

So I hope this song will do

I wrote it all for you

I'm not perfect but you don't mind that, do you?

I know you're there to pull me through, aren't you?

So I look for love

I like the search

And I'll be standing for election all across the known universe

Let every president get the country she deserves

Oh Lord, make me pure

- but not yet

And I've been seeing

Somebody's wife

She said she'd leave him for me and I said that wasn't wise

You can't lie to a liar because of all lies

Oh Lord, please make me pure

- not yet

The first time I heard this song is on MTV. It's damn nice. I'm not a Christian and I loved this melody. The lyrics is quite funny, don't you think? The singer is singing as though "Lord" is his good buddy and he's trying to make a pact with him. At the same time, he's doing all the "sinful" things. I can't really express the meaning of the song but I think I know what's the song is about.
