Lyrics: Mateo Owens
Music: Mateo Owens
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 them out
And if I am impure
More punishment’s the cure
Show me sins and stuff
Til 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
Father forgive me for my sins
Give me punishments
And rules
And never-ending
Sunday school
An idle brain invites the devil in
