Amos Lee - Street Corner Preacher

卜超 制作

He got a new mercy

A new grace

Street corner preacher

With the angry face

He got 2 years off

For good behavior

Back in the neighborhood

Working for the city

There's two old ladies

And a junkie, now now

He can see for sure

That his work is cut out

Though he walks thru the shadows

We wont fear his neighbor

Back in the neighborhood

Working for the saitor

Bau, bau

Put it on back

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau,

Put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau

Put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah, bau bau

Ya ya

Well he understands

The need for livin it large

But its hard to get a job

With a felony charge

Now he's working in a hospital

Washin dishes

Walking thru the fields

Of the lost inhibitions

There is death everywhere

The new, been addiction

To save the liver

From the waking death is his conviction

The eyes of man

Well he seeks no favor

Back in the neighborhood

Workin for the savior

But there's a whole lot of trouble all around

Every night the same old siren sound

Ah there's a whole lot of trouble all around

Children, soldiers, in this battle ground

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau

Put 'em bop

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau

Put 'em bop

Ah put it in

A bau bau

Ya ya

Well a new sun

And a second chance

He unbolts the door

And hops ever the fence

Young woman with a baby

That her daddy gave her

Back in the neighborhood

Workin for the savior

But all around

The war rages on

Burnt out houses

With the front door gone

Well his faith is his fountain

His love is his neighbor

Back in the neighborhood

Workin for the saitor

Whoa oh oh oh, oh

Yea, ahhh,

Bau, bau

Put it on back

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau,

Put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah bau bau

Put it ooh bop

Ah put it in

Ah, bau bau

Ya ya

He got a new mercy

A new grace

Street corner preacher

With the angry face

He got two years off

For good behavior

Back in the neighborhood

Workin for the savior
