lyrics

Oh please sir, open up the gate and let me through
My name they must've just missed on the list I swear it's true
Please stay, we can straighten all this out with your support
The saints will be here soon to plead my case before the court
Surely you would understand
What it's like to be a man
Some call me filthy
Some call me vile
But on the inside I'm,
Clean as a child

I know, I've caused a little trouble here and there
But that's all in the past now I'm as gentle as a hare
Oh sure, my record may appear a little cruel
But I testify I just was not informed of all the rules
I'm a decent soul I swear
I'm not like those fools down there
Some call me filthy
Some call me vile
But on the inside I'm,
Clean as a child

There was that scuffle with the bookie
in the gambling arcade
And those California binges,
and those bills we never paid
And hypnotic Melissa
with her felonious grin
To the crimes that have occurred
I plead Original sin

Sure we've all made some mistakes
But I'm the apple, not the snake
Some call me filthy
Some call me vile
But on the inside I'm
Clean as a child
