"Thou Shalt Not" lyrics

"Thou Shalt Not"

Look out!

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"

"Thou shalt not"
I'm gonna live my life
"Thou shalt not"
"Thou shalt not"
Any way I choose
"Thou shalt not"

You got that right
