Dylan, Bob - Ain't Gonna Go To Hell (For Anybody) Lyrics






Ain't gonna go to hell for anybody...

I can manipulate people as well as anybody.
Hold 'em and control 'em, squeeze 'em and tease 'em.
I can make believe I'm in love with almost anybody.
Force 'em and burn 'em, twist 'em and turn 'em.
All that satisfies the fleshy needs.
I've been down that road, I know what it needs.

But I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow, no never, no way!

I can persuade people as well as anybody.
I got the vision, but it caused division.
I can twist the truth as well as anybody.
I know how to do it, I've been all the way through it.
But it don't suit my purpose and it ain't my goal
to gain the whole world, but give up my soul.

But I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
Not for father, not for mother, not for sister, not for brother, no way!

I can twist the truth around as well as anybody.
Wine 'em and dine 'em, fool 'em and rule 'em.
I can rob and steal from people as well as anybody.
I know how to do it, but it don't suit my purpose and it ain't my goal
to gain the whole world but give up my soul.

But I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
Not for father, not for mother, not for sister, not for brother, no way!

Smoke arises for ever, on a one-way ticket to burn.
A place reserved for the devil
and for all those that done evil.
A place of darkness and shame, you can never return.

I can influence people as well as anybody.
I can cause division, can cause division.
I can mislead people as well as anybody.
Burn 'em and roll 'em, rob 'em and hold 'em.
Won't get my story in tricks or cards.
I can see through man's delusions, I can see through his facades.

But I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow, no never, no way!

I can write and steal from people as well as anybody.
Know all the devices, paid a lot of prices,
I can influence people as well as anybody.
Go right up to 'em, I know how to do 'em.
Don't need to depend on tricks or on cards.
I can see through man's delusions, I can see through his facades.

But I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody,
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
I ain't gonna go to hell for anybody.
Not today, not tonight, not tomorrow, no never, no way!

    fucking great song – that I never heard of.

  12. L.... V....

    Great!! is this from the Trouble no More DVD? I think however that they could have done a better job with the mix, the presence of the band is not as strong as in this version for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz-l9bOOSKg I hope they don't have this problem on the CD versions... Thanks for posting anyway! cheers!

  13. T.... J....

    Douglas jardine you are acting like a yahooo .Bob is doing a great song for the Justice Of everyone ...” I don’t want to gain the world to give up my soul “. As Jesus said to disciples “ What good is it to ye if you gain the whole world , but lose your soul “. “Judge not (Douglas) so that you won’t be judged by the same measure” Done as only Bob can do❤️☮️☮️ Thank you Mr Sugarman😘

    @Paul Little Just reading here and I hope you are joking Paul. Nancy is only pointing out the truth of what Bob is saying. It's beautiful. I had to open my mind up to understand some of Bob's great writing.

    N.... R....
