Special Place In Hell

They say that all roads lead to Rome, I wonder if they do
And is the road the hell made of intentions pure and true
Like borrowing your parents car, or neighbor’s for that matter
May seem like fun until they lock the driver in the slammer

Saying “I love you” when you don’t, not sayin’ it when you do
Tellin’ him that shirt looks great when you know that isn’t true
So many ways to go astray but as I said before
One stands alone by far the worst, of that you can be sure

Beyond the other burning flames the devil surely keeps
A special place in hell reserved for those who pee on toilet seats

Lying under oath is bad, I do not recommend it
Driving drunk is awful too, or with your plates suspended
Guys that cheat on lovely girls, women cheating men
Bribery with currency that isn’t yours to spend

Neglecting spouses, kids, or pets, ignoring traffic signs
Robbing banks, hot-wiring cars, rich white collar crime
Nonetheless, within the range of all the dirty deeds
There’s one that puts the rest to shame, I’m sure you will agree

Beyond the other burning flames the devil surely keeps
A special place in hell reserved for those who pee on toilet seats

Gossip, arson, drugs and guns, forgery and theft
False pretenses, felonies, extortion of the press
Kidnapping for ransom, selling shares that don’t exist
Battery and perjury, assault and politics

Stealing, lying, cheating, killing, blackmail, prostitution
Tax fraud, money laundering, mafia collusion
We humans do so many things immoral or illegal
Yet one offense is worse by far than all the other evils

Beyond the other burning flames the devil surely keeps
A special place in hell reserved for those who pee on toilet seats
