Blackboard

Downstairs there's a blackboard
 Scribbled on and filled in with white lies and cruel tricks
 I admit it
 And guilt kicks in like a sharp pin
 Guilt kicks in like a sharp pin
 Now payment's worshipped, payola in the sun
 People who kill for food or fun
 I don't know my right from wrong
 But could I wipe the sin away
 Away away
 But when her finger points at me
 I fall to my iron knees
 I'll swear on the book
 Take the vow
 I'll be pure just like I was
 (As if you could)
 I will wash away the sin
 I will get my second chance
 I will wipe the slate clean
 With an eraser
 (As if you could)
 I will wash away the sin
 I will get my second chance
 I will wipe the slate clean
 With an eraser
 And now I'm in a courtroom
 Filled with kangaroos
 And plants with teeth
 They're hungry
 Twelve of them in a box
 They say
 You have done this awful deed, now you have to pay
 And the judge is twenty stories high
 He rolls his bulgy eyes
 Then he gives me a halo
 I try it on for size
 And yet I still worry
 I didn't get the moral of the story
