Lyrics
the street corner prophet waxed eloquent today, sayin;`don`t pray to the lords of war, jesus is on the way'
drowned out by the street noise, he was bound to testify, addressed to no one special, just anybody passin' by. he was swingin' hard people, in his own back yard.
he stands on the corner most everyday. he`s in your head like some nagging dread that just won`t go away. you don`t dare go near him, avoid the sputter and spray. "take heed all you sinners, repent your evil ways" he was swingin' hard , in our own backyard.
the street corner prophet waxed eloquent today, drowned out by the street noise he continued to rave. he was swingin'hard people, in his own backyard
