Downstairs there's a blackboard Scribbled on and filled in with white lies and cruel tricks I admit it And guilt kicks in like a sharp pin Guilt kicks in like a sharp pin Now payment's worshipped, payola in the sun People who kill for food or fun I don't know my right from wrong But could I wipe the sin away Away away But when her finger points at me I fall to my iron knees I'll swear on the book Take the vow I'll be pure just like I was (As if you could) I will wash away the sin I will get my second chance I will wipe the slate clean With an eraser (As if you could) I will wash away the sin I will get my second chance I will wipe the slate clean With an eraser And now I'm in a courtroom Filled with kangaroos And plants with teeth They're hungry Twelve of them in a box They say You have done this awful deed, now you have to pay And the judge is twenty stories high He rolls his bulgy eyes Then he gives me a halo I try it on for size And yet I still worry I didn't get the moral of the story
