An Idle Brain Invites The Devil In

Salem The Musical

An idle brain invites the devil in
Father forgive me for my sins, my sins
Give me punishments and rules and never-ending Sunday school
An idle brain invites the devil in

Happy means doing what I should
Happy means doing what I should
See, look, I'm smiling 'cause I'm good
You're good
My knees are sore from prayer
Yeah, my favorite shape is square
Happy means doing what I should

I never listen to the voice inside me
It's better with commandments there to guide me
I stay safe inside the fence
Even when things don't make sense
Judge me, give me grades, oh God, advise me

Who needs a hug when you're a saint?
Who needs a hug when you're a saint?
I only need my self restraint
It's quaint!
When I'm perfect as can be
Father finally will love me
Who needs a hug when you're a saint?
