Ain't Gonna Go to Hell for Anybody - Live at Le Theatre Saint-Denis, Montreal, Quebec - April 24, 1980
Lyrics
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I can manipulate people as well as anybody Bust 'em and burn 'em, twist 'em and turn 'em I can make believe I'm in love with anybody Hold 'em and control 'em, squeeze 'em and tease 'em But I know what satisfies the flesh that it feeds I've been down that road, I know where it leads And I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow, no never, no way! I can twist the truth as well as anybody Wine 'em and dine 'em, find 'em and blind 'em I can mislead people as well as anybody I've got division, to cause any kind of division But I don't always stand above, I know I've got control To gain the whole world and lose my soul And I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Not for father, not for mother Not for sister, not for brother, no way! Smokin' rises for ever, on a one-way ticket to burn A place reserved for the devil And for all of those that done evil A place of darkness and shame, you can never return I can rob and steal as well as anybody I know how to do it, I'll probably see you to it I can influence people as well as anybody I know what to tell 'em, I can name 'em or wear 'em But I don't need no love unless it be God's I see through man's delusions, I see through his facades And I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Not for father, not for mother For sister, not for brother, no way! I can manipulate people as well as anybody Bust 'em and burn 'em, twist 'em and turn 'em I can make believe I'm in love with almost anybody Hold 'em and control 'em, squeeze 'em and tease 'em But it don't suit my purposes and it ain't my goal To gain the whole world, and lose my soul I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody Not for father, not for mother Not for sister, not for brother, no way! (Nobody) (Ain't nobody)
