Everybody in here thinks I'm so devout
I can't stand the way they look, the way they dress
   the way they cut their hair
I got the best of both worlds, I'll tell you why

Every day they come to me, they checkin' me out
They say "Give me love, give me hope, give me life eternal"
"Life eternal"!! That's what they say !
And every night I'm on the street just checkin' em out
I got the best of both I'll tell you why.

Keep your pain and keep your lies - this is the life for me
I don't need no alibis - this is the life for me
I preach by day and love by night - this is the life for me
Hey, all you sinners, just get in line !  This is the life for me
