You Don't Owe Me Nothing [Live] Lyrics

You Don't Owe Me Nothing
There was a time in Christendom
the road to God was hard to tread
'til charlatans in leisure suits
saw dollars dancing in their heads

chorus:
You don't owe me nothing
you don't owe me nothing
you don't owe me nothing
you don't owe me nothing

I heard her say she struck a deal
her faith will bring in money bags
I'm heading for the mercy seat
my goodness looks like dirty rags

(chorus)
Need I even say
you don't owe me nothing
why did you give it anyway?

I know you'll give me what I need
they say I need a shopping mall
I claim the victory over greed
Lord Jesus, I surrender all

(chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
