Parody of "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel
(Matthew 19:17, 27:51; Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19; Romans 3:10, 3:23, 6:23; Psalms 14:1-3, 53:1-3; Isaiah 64:6; Jeremiah 17:9)
Come out you sinners - don't hesitate
Half of the world learns much too late
Ah, but you need a savior - it comes down to faith
The righteous - well, gee, there's none
Well, they showed you the statutes - told you obey
Sent you to temple and taught you to pray
But they never told you the price had been paid
For sins that you might have done
'Cause no one is good - but one
You might have heard that once when the temple was around
The Place Most Holy was draped with a shroud
The high priest entered there just for a while
Ah, but that was for atonement
So c'mon to Jesus, I'll show you a sign
Temple officials I'm sure were surprised
To see that curtain divide when He died
Whenever He said it was done
Darlin' no one is good - but one
That's what I said - No one is good but one
No one is good but one
You got a righteousness that's a pile of dirty rags you're makin'
You need a brand new soul - you better toss the old
Well, verse 64:6 it's in Isaiah, the information
Ooh look in Psalm 14
And Paul recounts it all in Romans 3
Oh oh oh, they say there's a heaven for those await
One way to get there and that way is faith
And when the last of the sinners arrives through the gates
Definitive judgment comes
Darlin' no one is good but one
That's what I said ... I tell ya no one is good but one
No one is good but one
SAX SOLO
Jeremiah told ya all our hearts were sick beyond imagination
Ah, it's chapter 17
But do I have to tell you everything?
Oh oh oh - come out, come out, come out
Psalm 53 - get it straight - Half of the world learns much too late
Do me a favor - and come now in faith
The righteous will see the sun
