Lyrics

Lafayette

People say he's lazy
But in reality his time is just cheap
The meds they make him hazy
But they're the only way to keep him sweet
He wears his daddy's eyes like a voodoo curse
And nobody would be surprised
If his next ride was in a hearse

He's alright, ooh, he's alright
(He's alright, ooh, he's alright)
Yeah, he's alright, ooh, he's alright
(He's alright, ooh, he's alright)

The lunatics are running the asylum
They won't let him past the gate
They tell him if he wants to find his father
Then he's gonna have to wait
He wears his daddy's eyes like a voodoo curse
Grieving through a twenty dollar bill
He stole from momma's purse

He's alright, ooh, he's alright
(He's alright, ooh, he's alright)
Yeah, he's alright, ooh, he's alright
(He's alright, ooh, he's alright)

Well, if he was your savior
Then why'd you go worshipin' the cross?
Have a little dignity
And let his family get over that loss
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
Yeah, I know he was your savior
But it wasn't me nailed him to the cross
