Verse 1
G 
Alright, I'll go to hell!
I'll take up wickedness again,
which is my line, being brought up to it.
And for a starter,
I'll steal Jim out of slavery again.
And if I can think of something worse,
I'll do that too.
Cause as long as I'm in,
and in for good,
I might as well go ho -ho!
I have lived an undirected life,
C 
a cloudy way,
G 
I know the only way I knew.
So the things I've done,
in fact each and every one,
Dsus4

are the way that I was taught to run.
G 
I  am waiting for the light to shine.

for so long.
