Pray for Me

[Verse 1]

God gave Moses a few little rules

Said I want you to pass them around

Take a look at those old fools

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

You're supposed to have a good time

But I think you take it a little too far

Watchin' your life in VistaVision

Monkey on your back, a brand new car

[Verse 2]

Well, Shakespeare threw down his pencil

Said I think I'm gonna start layin' brick

Too much of this Romeo stuff's

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

Punch and Judy workin' uptown

Pray for me if you want to

Before some fool shoots you down

[Verse 3]

Well, 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 backyard

Two guys beat up the sole survivor

Up beat on the back street

I don't really wanna get involved

Won't someone help me to my feet?

[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

Punch and Judy workin' uptown

Pray for me if you want to

Before someone shoots you down
