I lived most of my life in New York City
Born and raised in the promised land
One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
B A D
He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
A B G A E G A A G
And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
[Chorus]
E G A E E G A E G A E G A
"Thou shalt not" (but I know what I want), "Thou shalt not"

"Thou shalt not" (but I know what I need), "Thou shalt not"

Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy
Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God
And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
B A D
He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
A B G A E G A A G
And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"
