Don't wanna work in a building downtown No, I don't wanna work in a building downtown I don't know what I'm gonna do Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two Don't wanna work in a building downtown No, I don't wanna see it when the planes hit the ground
Don't wanna work in a building downtown Don't wanna work in a building downtown Parkin' the cars in the underground The voices when they scream, well they make no sound Wanna see the cities rust And the troublemakers ridin' on the back of the bus
Dear God, I'm a good Christian man I'm your boy, i know you understand That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid The girl's thirteen, but she don't act her age She can sing like a bird in cage Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage
You know that I'm a god-fearin' man You know that I'm a god-fearin' man I just gotta know if it's a part of your plan To see my darling stand by your right hand I know you will do what's right, Lord For they are the lanterns and you are the light
Now I'm overcome By the light of day My lips are near But my heart is far away Tell me what to say I'll be your mouthpiece
Into the light of a bridge that burns As I drive through the city with the money that I earn To the dark of a starless sky I won't stare into nothing and I'm asking you why Lord, let me make her a star So the world can see who you really are
Little girl, you're old enough to understand You'll always be a stranger in a strange strange land Men are gonna come while you're fast asleep So you better just stay close and hold onto me If mama's mockingbird don't sing well Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring
Dear God, will you send me a child? Oh God, will you send me a child? 'cause I wanna put it up on the tv screen So the world can see what your true Word means Lord, won't you send me a sign? 'cause i just gotta know if I'm wastin' my time
Now I'm overcome By the light of day My lips are near But my heart is far away But now the war is won How come nothing tastes good?
Oh you're such a sensitive child (sensitive child) You know you're such a sensitive child I know you're tired, but it's all right I just needed you to sing for me tonight You're gonna have your day in the sun You know God loves the sensitive ones
Oh my little girl in a cage Oh my little bird in a cage I need you to get up for me up on that stage Show all the men that you're old for your age Now in the times of fear But if you don't take it, it'll disappear
Oh my little mockingbird sing Come on, my little mockingbird sing I need you to get up on the stage for me, honey Show the men it's not about the money Want to hold a mirror up to the world So that they can see themselves inside my little girl
Do you know where i was at your age? Any idea where i was at your age? I was workin' downtown for the minimum wage! And I couldn't let you just throw it all away Threw me a kid, God, throw me a knife So tell me Lord am I the Antichrist?
