The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
My feet are so tired, my brain is so wired
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Man's ego is inflated, his laws are outdated, they don't apply no more
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
But the enemy I see wears a cloak of decency,; All non-believers and men stealers talkin' in the name of religion
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
A million faces at my feet; But all I see are dark eyes
When the last rays of daylight go down; Buddy, you'll roll no more; I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard; I wonder who they're ringing for
Oh it's rush hour now; On the wheel and the plow; And the sun is going down; Upon the sacred cow.
