WASH AWAY MY SINS
by Chris Franks
Copyright 2010
They say that money is the root of all evil
But if I give ill buy my way in
It's not enough giving when I can
Greenback gonna wash away my sin
Never have been the type to go to church
Getting up on a Sunday morning hurts
When I was a young lad
Right from wrong from mom and dad
And I try like hell to be that man
Seems everybody's trying to tell me
About heaven above and god all mighty
Get down on your knees boy and prey
Son your soul will be lost without a trace
You'll never come to have a place in Gods heavenly estate
They say that money is the root of all evil
But if I give ill buy my way in
It's not enough giving when I can
Greenback gonna wash away my sin
Bible thumping, snake oil man at my door
Telling me I'm a Babylonian whore
Said I better change my ways
Fire, brimstone or I've hell to pay
Son do you have Jesus in your heart
If you want to pass the pearly gate repent now and change your fate
He shook some bones then he hit me on the head
He said halleluiah praise the lord
Son you been born again
Then he put his hand out for a reward
They say that money is the root of all evil
But if I give ill buy my way in
It's not enough giving when I can
Greenback gonna wash away my sin
Preacher man let me ask you something
What about the Buddhist and Muslims
I don't think they know about the lord
You telling me their all doomed to hell
Tell one that might be a hard sell
I guess if I were God
The way I'd see it
We're all just doing the best that we can
A man lives an honest life with not to much sin
Hell, I'd no problems blessing him
They say that money is the root of all evil
But if I give ill buy my way in
It's not enough giving when I can
Greenback gonna wash away my sin
