3
We started out
4
With a sin and a lie
5
And moved on to 'what's in it for me,'
6
And when trouble washed up, hell, we just let it flow by
7
And our kindness just washed out to sea.
8
They say Jesus died
9
On the old rugged cross
10
To save you from people like me
11
And Daddy, he slaved
12
For an uncaring boss,
13
'Cause nothin' worth nothin's for free
14
Now saviors, they work
15
Lots of overtime,
16
And sinners just try to get by
17
And the losers, they play
18
'Til they've spent their last dime
19
With the comfort of knowing they tried
20
Well, they say Jesus died
21
On the old rugged cross
22
To save you from people like me
23
And Daddy, he worked
24
For an uncaring boss
25
'Cause nothin' worth nothin's for free.
26
Well, I've lived a good life
27
And I've lived a bad,
28
And they both felt like sweet liberty,
29
And I felt the storm coming,
30
My redemption at hand
31
And everything good comes for free.
32
Well, they say Jesus died
33
On the old rugged cross
34
To save you from people like me.
35
And Daddy, he slaved
36
For an uncaring boss,
37
Nothin' worth nothin's for free.
38
Well, they say Jesus died
39
On the old rugged cross
40
And nothin' worth nothin's for free.
