“S-A-V-E-D”

Description

The singer complains about the sins of others, spelling each out (e.g. they "d-a-n-c-e" while wearing a new "h-a-t"). The singer, though, need not worry about such things; "It's g-l-o-r-y to know I'm s-a-v-e-d."

Notes

Obviously a composed song, but I've no knowledge of the source. I've heard it enough times that I suspect it belongs in the Index. - RBW
