Lyrics
Heaven Goes to the Ghetto
Verse:
Spray painted billboards, all along the walls,
666 is the number, for a good time call,
Brand new lawyers, in the game of death,
3 day doctors, when you got nothing left,
And all this time I thought I was alone,
School teachers said I could do this on my own,
Street corner party, that's free enterprise,
Labor pool warnings, stoop down low,
Light industrial, uptown go,
Grab your boat and gently row,
Chorus:
Heaven goes to the ghetto,
Verse:
Now every third Saturday, I got to see Jesus,
They're handing out clothes, got extended leases,
On Sunday morning, I'm wearing new clothes,
I still feel some shame, they call it humbleness,
Everyone's praying for me now, look behind me I see a dark cloud,
I see a river of coffee, flowing upstream,
Now that they've told me where I'm at, If I want to move I got to go back,
Social Security is watching me,
Chorus Repeat:
Bridge:
Locking myself inside myself,
Everyone is watching me,
I see God in the trees,
Dancing children playing a game,
Merrily, Merrily did Mary play,
No, she had some sick days built in her pay,
An ancient playground for Mary to play,
And all these scholars want to play me a game,
When all I had to do was witness some shame,
Your save the world gimmics, they give you away,
Your advertisement money could have fed the world today,
And all these scholars want to play me a game,
When all you ever do is make me the blame,
Your advertisement money has taken the shame,
Your selling me for ransom, your dog eat dog game,
Chorus Repeat:
