on the wrong side of heaven and the righteous side of hell

they say you get what you give,
you give what you've gotten
you reap what you sew so the scriptures go 
all I know is for your sins you pay what you owe
My trouble is I've never known 
whether the sins were mine or yours 
it's just the way it's always fucking been

you won't understand me,
you'll probably never try
I don't know now what it was that I started out wanting 
but I do know it was more than this
I've been sacrificed by ones who said they were lovers
been crucified by ones who called Me brother
I've spoken to the devil he swears he's not to blame
god knows I know how that feels

I'm beginning to think I'm on the wrong side of heaven
and the righteous side of hell
through it all I've withstood the pain
I'd rather you hated Me for all the things that I am
or ever going to be 
than try to love Me for something you think I could be
