Ain't
righteous
by Bob Dylan
When a man he
serves the Lord,
it makes
his life worthwhile.
It don't matter 'bout
his
position,
it don't matter 'bout his lifestyle.
Talk about
perfection, I ain't
never
seen none
And there ain't no
man righteous,
no
not one.
Sometimes the
devil likes to
drive you
from the neighborhood.
He'll even work his
ways through
those
whose intentions are good.
Some like to worship
on the moon,
others
are worshipping the sun
And there ain't no
man righteous,
no
not one.
Look around, ya
see so many
social hypocrites
Like to make rules
for others
while
they do just the opposite.
You can't get to
glory by the
raising
and the lowering of no flag.
Put your goodness
next to God's
and
it comes out like a filthy rag.
In a city of darkness
there's no
need
of the sun
And there ain't no
man righteous,
no
not one.
Done so many evil
things in
the name
of love, it's a crying shame
I never did see no
fire that
could
put out a flame.
Pull your hat
down, baby, pull
the wool
down over your eyes,
Keep a-talking, baby,
'til you
run
right out of alibis.
Someday you'll
account for all
the
deeds that you done.
Well, there ain't no
man
righteous,
no not one.
God got the power,
man has got
his vanity,
Man gotta choose
before God can
set
him free.
Don't you know
there's nothing
new
that's under the sun?
Well, there ain't no
man
righteous,
no not one.
When I'm gone
don't wonder
where I be.
Just say that I
trusted in God
and
that Christ was in me.
Say He defeated the
devil, He was
God's
chosen Son
And that there ain't
no man
righteous,
no not one.
Almost honest is
dishonest. Almost
true
is untrue. Almost pure is impure. Almost perfect is imperfect. Almost
pregnant
is not pregnant. Almost holy is sanctimonious. Almost light is
twilight.
Almost white is grey. Almost righteous is unrighteous. Almost straight
is crooked. Almost mature is immature. Almost rooted is disrooted..
Almost
certain is uncertain. Almost free is unfree. Almost loose is fastened.
Almost awake is sleeping. Almost sane is insane. Almost genuine is
false.
Almost released is imprisoned. Almost wise is foolish. Almost quiet is
unquiet. Almost dry is wet. Almost living is dead.
And so in this world there are
only
dishonest, imperfect,
sanctimonious, unrighteous, immature, disrooted, uncertain, unfree,
sleeping
, insane, spurious and foolish people, showing each other the way,
helping
and guiding each other and quarreling about the right way.
The psychiatrist says nobody is
normal, the
doctor
nobody is healthy, the church nobody is without sin. Everybody
has
dirty hands wrote Sartre and everybody blames another. People are
zealous
for a more righteous world, for a more honest distribution, for more
freedom
but then it stays unrighteous, dishonest and unfree. And who will state
in an unrighteous world what is righteous? The nuances and greys
between
white and black are endless but it remains grey and it only depends on
your own point of view if it is more or less grey.
They are corrupt, they
have done
abominable works,
[there] [is] none that doeth good.(Psalms 14:1) They are all gone
aside,
they are [all] together become filthy: [there] [is] none that doeth
good,
no, not one.(Psalms14:3)
As it is written, There is
none
righteous, no,
not one (Rom.3:10) They are all gone out of the way, they are together
become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not
one.(Rom.3:12)
