Thou Shalt Not lyrics

I lived most of my life in New York City

Born and raised in the promised land

One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"

Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand

He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"

And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"

"Thou shalt not"

but I know what I want

"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"

but I know what I need

"Thou shalt not"

Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy

Tellin' me I'm gonna go down

I said, "this ain't the inquisition,

you ain't the son of God

And I sure as hell don't give a damn"

He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"

And I said "Mister, if I'm goin',

I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"

"Thou shalt not"

but I know what I want

"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"

but I know what I need

"Thou shalt not", yeah, "Thou shalt not"

gotta live my life

"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"

any way I please

"Thou shalt not"

Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah

And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees

'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need

Well, I know what I want, I know what I need

Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah

'Cause I know what I want, yeah!

"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"

"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"

"Thou shalt not"

but I know what I want

"Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"

oh, yes I do

"Thou shalt not"

I'm gonna live my life any way I choose

"Thou shalt not"

You got that, right?
