lyrics :

God gave Moses a few little rules

And he said I want you to pass them around

Take a look at those old tools

I can't believe the shit that's going down

You're supposed to have a good time

But I think you take it a little too far

Watchin' your life in vista-vision

A monkey on your back, a brand new car

Well Shakespeare threw down his pencil,

Said I think I'm gonna start layin' brick

Too much of this Romeo stuff enough to make

Anybody sick

"To be or not to be," I mean what's that supposed to mean

I'm changin' my image tomorrow

Be a groupie, make the scene

[Chorus:]

Pray for me if you want to

If you don't want to don't stay

Somebody shot the Vicar and the minister's on his way

Sellin' open legs on the corner

Punchin' Judy workin' uptown

Pray for me if you want to

Before some fool shoots you down

The man in the cage is always for freedom

The way of the transgressor is hard

Cain and Abel and their old man

Playin' croquet in the back yard

Two guys beat up the sole survivor

Up beat on the back street

I don't really want to get involved

Won't someone help me to my feet.

[Chorus]
