All Or None



Will you be forgiven since you've been all or none?
Will you be forgiven since you've told lies fine spun?
Will you be forgiven since you've just hit and run?
Will you be forgiven since you've ruled with a gun?
Will you be forgiven since you've seen this as fun?
Will you be forgiven since you've lost to the sun?
Will you be forgiven since you've felt people shun?
Will you be forgiven since you've nevermore won?
Will you be forgiven since you've hurt everyone?
Will you be forgiven since you've been like a son?
