An Idle Brain Invites The Devil In

An idle brain invites the devil in
Father forgive me for my sins, my sins
Give me punishments and rules and never-ending Sunday school
An idle brain invites the devil in

Happy means doing what I should
Happy means doing what I should
See, look, I'm smiling 'cause I'm good
You're good
My knees are sore from prayer
Yeah, my favorite shape is square
Happy means doing what I should

I never listen to the voice inside me
It's better with commandments there to guide me
I stay safe inside the fence
Even when things don't make sense
Judge me, give me grades, oh God, advise me

Who needs a hug when you're a saint?
Who needs a hug when you're a saint?
I only need my self restraint
It's quaint!
When I'm perfect as can be
Father finally will love me
Who needs a hug when you're a saint?

Evil sin and doubt
I'll help to point it out
And if I am impure
More punishment's the cure
Show me sins and stuff
Till I am good enough
Good enough
Good enough
Amen

I never listen to the voice inside me
I never listen
It's better with commandments there to guide me
Oh, guide me
I stay safe inside the fence
Even when things don't make sense
Judge me, give me grades, oh God, advise me

Paradise has got a spot for me
Flawless is all I need to be
To be
Predestined and elect
If I do all that they expect
Paradise has got a spot for me!

An idle brain invites the devil in
La, la, la la, la, la, la, la
Father forgive me for my sins
La, la, la, la, la
Give me punishments
La
And rules
La la
And never-ending
La la
Sunday school
La la
An idle brain invites the devil in
La, la, la la, la, la la, la, la la!
