Keys to the Kingdom Lyrics

When Pilate was after Jesus
they could not get to him
they made a pact with Judas
so that they could turn him in,

I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah

I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah.

They took him to that hill
they brought his sister in
they conspired against him
to make original sin

I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah

I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah

I was on his left
Devil on his right
he passed those keys to Pharisees
way out of sight

I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah

I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah

and with those keys
I can open lots of doors
devil on my left hand side
he ain't there no more

I got the keys to the kingdom
and the world can't do me no wrong
Oh yeah

I got the keys to the church house
and the world can't do me no harm
Oh yeah

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.
