Ain’t No Man Righteous, No Not One
Writen by: Bob Dylan
When a man he serves the Lord, it makes his life worthwhile
It don´t matter ´bout his position, it don´t matter ´bout his lifestyle
Talk about perfection, I ain´t never seen none
And there ain´t no man righteous, no not one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood
He´ll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good
Some like to worship on the moon, others are worshipping the sun
And there ain´t no man righteous, no not one
Look around, ya see so many social hypocrites
Like to make rules for others while they do just the opposite
You can´t get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag
Put your goodness next to God´s and it comes out like a filthy rag
In a city of darkness there´s no need of the sun
And there ain´t no man righteous, no not one
Done so many evil things in the name of love that it´s a crying shame
I never did see no fire that could put out a flame
Pull your hat down, baby, pull the wool down over your eyes
Keep a-talking, baby, ´til you run right out of alibis
Someday you´ll account for all the deeds that you done
Well, there ain´t no man righteous, no not one
God got the power, man has got his vanity
Man gotta choose before God can set him free
Don´t you know there´s nothing new that´s under the sun?
Well, there ain´t no man righteous, no not one
When I´m gone don´t wonder where I be
Just say that I trusted in God and that Christ was in me
Say He defeated the devil, He was God´s chosen Son
And that there ain´t no man righteous, no not one
