Ain`t No Man Righteous, No Not One (Live Nov. 16, 1979)

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
