Bob Dylan Aint No Man Righteous lyrics

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.
