Appears on: She Must and Shall Go Free

Lyrics:

My life looks good I do confess
You can ask anyone
Just don’t ask my real good friends
‘Cause they will lie to you
Or worse they’ll tell the truth
‘Cause there are things you would not believe
That travel into my mind
I swear I try and capture them
But I always set them free
It seems bad things comfort me

[Chorus]
Good Lord I am crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Good Lord I am crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down

There was this girl she was made for me
But stood me up our wedding day
And now that girl runs around on me
And she’s drunk all the time
But I’d die to make her mine

Good Lord she’s crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
That girl is crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down

But I’m not water and I’m not wine
You could say I’m just here for the party
With one thing on my mind
Squeezing me and my camel through the needle’s eye

[Chorus x2]

Derek on the song:

Think of the most despicable person you can think of…In our culture for the past 10 years it’s been Marilyn Manson. He is despicable…and you know what? So am I. And so are you. He might not try to hide his sin like we might do, but the only real difference between us is something that we were given for free: Jesus.
