Thou Shalt Not Lyrics

[Gene Simmons]
 
 I lived most of my life in New York City
 Born and raised in the promised land
 One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack"
 Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand
 
 He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past"
 And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
 
 "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not"
 
 Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy
 Tellin' me I'm gonna go down
 I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God
 And I sure as hell don't give a damn"
 
 He said, "You're long gone, can't you tell?"
 And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"
 
 "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not" - yeah
 "Thou shalt not" - gotta live my life - "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - any way I please - "Thou shalt not"
 
 Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah
 And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees
 
 'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
 Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
 Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
 
 (Instrumental break)
 
 'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
 
 "Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not", "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - oh, yes I do - "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - I'm gonna live my life - "Thou shalt not"
 "Thou shalt not" - any way I choose - "Thou shalt not"
 You got that right.
