We sang this in church recently and there was one lyric nobody could understand. It goes:
"There ain’t no room for the greedy sinner Hurt everybody just to save their soul"
The obvious question is of course how would a "greedy sinner" expect to save their own soul by hurting everybody else?
The rest of the song is pretty straightforward, about having faith being "saved," etc., with the train being netaphoriclaly headed for heaven.
Any ideas?
It's actually "Hurt everybody just to save his own." As in hurting other people in order to get ahead.
