VII: So you think you're a sinner?

You think you're sinful? Huh! That's nothing.
I'm more sinful than you.

You don't speak to your neighbour?
So what? I might be nice to mine, but really
I resent him, I envy him, I hate his guts.
I want to be just like him and have his life.
If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't even smile at him.

You think you're sinful? Huh! That's nothing.
I'm more sinful than you.

You lie and manipulate to be successful?
Is that the best you can do? I might never lie,
But I always want to get my own way.
I want to crush anyone who stands in my path.
If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't be so kind.

You think you're sinful? Huh! That's nothing.
I'm more sinful than you.

You stole a bicycle from a small child?
You're an angel next to me! I might never steal,
But I dream at night of power and wealth.
I want to make people notice me and see how great I am.
If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't seem so humble.

You think you're sinful? Huh! That's nothing.
I'm more sinful than you.

You cheated on your wife? With three different women?
And you think that's bad? I might never cheat on mine,
But I have wild, unspeakable fantasies. I want to be in control
And have whoever I desire for myself.
If it wasn't for God, I wouldn't seem so loyal.

You think you're sinful? Huh! That's nothing.
I'm more sinful than you.

You killed your brother? And your friend got
Imprisoned for it? Actually, that is pretty bad,
I've never wanted to do that. But on Good Friday,
I get together with a bunch of other weirdos and
Bay for Christ's blood. Have you ever done that?
If you really want to be a sinner, you should try it.

You think you're sinful? Huh! That's nothing.
I might never have sinned, but I'm more sinful than you.
