When Pilate was after Jesus

they could not get to him

they made a pact with Judas

so that they could turn him in,



I got the keys to the kingdom

and the world can't do me no harm

Oh yeah



I got the keys to the church house

and the world can't do me no wrong

Oh yeah.



They took him to that hill

they brought his sister in

they conspired against him

to make original sin



I got the keys to the kingdom

and the world can't do me no wrong

Oh yeah



I got the keys to the church house

and the world can't do me no harm

Oh yeah



I was on his left

Devil on his right

he passed those keys to Pharisees

way out of sight



I got the keys to the kingdom

and the world can't do me no harm

Oh yeah



I got the keys to the church house

and the world can't do me no wrong

Oh yeah



and with those keys

I can open lots of doors

devil on my left hand side

he ain't there no more



I got the keys to the kingdom

and the world can't do me no wrong

Oh yeah



I got the keys to the church house

and the world can't do me no harm

Oh yeah
