Thou Shalt Not lyrics
by KISS
[Intro]
Look out
[Verse]
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"
[Chorus]
(Thou shalt not)
But I know what I want (Thou shalt not)
(Thou shalt not)
But I know what I need (Thou shalt not)
[Verse]
Well, the son of a b*tch must be crazy
Telling 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?"
I said, "Mister, if I'm going, I'll see you in hell!"
Yeah
[Chorus]
(Thou shalt not)
But I know what I want (Thou shalt not)
(Thou shalt not)
Yes, I know what I need (Thou shalt not) Yeah
(Thou shalt not)
I'm gonna live my life (Thou shalt not)
(Thou shalt not)
Any way I please (Thou shalt not)
[Bridge]
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
I've gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
[Guitar solo]
Yes, I know what I want
Yeah
[Chorus]
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)
Yeah
You got that right
