"Father, forgive them;
They know not what they do."

Heroin
Heroin

I don't know just where I'm goin' - Ahh
But I'm gonna try for the kingdom
If I can - yeah
'Cause it makes me feel like I'm a man
When I put a spike into my vein
And I tell you things aren't quite the same
It's a mainline to my pain

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

I said, Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin
Not mine

Yeah-ow

Yeah!
Yeah!

Ow!
Jesus died

I have made a very big decision
I gonna try to nullify my life -
You know
I get so low and then the smack flows
I don't care I'm gonna make it my wife
Because when the blood begins to flow
And it shoots up the dropper's neck
And I'm closin' in on death
You can all go take a walk
And I guess that I just don't know

And I guess that I just don't know
That Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

I said Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

I said Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

Not mine
Yeah-ow!

Jesus died for somebody's sins
But not mine
Heroin

Yeah!

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
