  • La, la
    La, la
    La, la
    La, la

    You gotta watch for the shot, beware the ricochet
    Dance, dance motherfucker 'til the fat bitch sings
    You get one for the chamber, two for good health
    Know a little 'bout evil and a lot about hell
    Playin' ring around the daisies with a shotgun shell
    If you're gonna take a life better keep it to yourself
    Seems every time I think there's just a little bit of hope
    Someone comes out swinging with a dead man's rope

    Damned if I do, damned if I don't
    Damned if I will and damned if I won't
    Doomed if I try, doomed if I fail
    Damn you all to hell

    I'm no angel, I'm no savior and I've never been a saint
    Well, I know I'm not the devil 'cause I still can feel the pain
    I walked through fire and through brimstone and there were no pearly gates
    I'll be sure to ask about it on my final Judgement Day
    Judgement Day

    Two tears in a bucket, one down the drain
    Dance, dance motherfucker 'til the war drums play
    I know a little 'bout death, a lot about pain
    I ain't ever seen a storm that don't end in rain
    Gotta pay the pied piper, every dog'll have his day
    I don't stress the mess 'cause it's all so cliche
    You can run around in circles, but it always ends the same
    You'll be swinging from the end of a dead man's chain

    Doomed if I do, doomed if I don't
    Doomed if I will, doomed if I won't
    Damned if I try, damned if I fail
    Goddamn you all to hell

    I'm no angel, I'm no savior and I've never been a saint
    Well, I know I'm not the devil 'cause I still can feel the pain
    I walked through fire and through brimstone and there were no pearly gates
    I'll be sure to ask about it on my final Judgement Day
    Judgement Day

    La, la
    La, la
    My final Judgement Day
    La, la
    La, la

    Watch for the shot
    Watch for the sh-sh-shot (motherfucker)
    Watch for the shot (beware the ricochet)
    Watch for the shot

    I'm no angel, I'm no savior and I've never been a saint
    Well, I know I'm not the devil 'cause I still can feel the pain
    I walked through fire and through brimstone and there were no pearly gates
    I'll be sure to ask about it on my final Judgement Day
    In my final resting place, when I finally found my grace
    I'll be sure to ask about it on my final Judgement Day
    My final Judgement Day

    La, la
    La, la
    My final Judgement Day
    La, la
    La, la
    My final Judgement Day
    La, la
    La, la
