You better look down and shake your head
|
Look down and shake your head
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
Jump down and wake the dead
|
Jump down and wake them
|
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
|
[2x]
|
|
Oh Lord! Can it be true?
|
These things they say about you
|
Oh what am I to do?
|
Oh Lord
|
When I look out of my window
|
Everything I see
|
Is hate and murder, stabbin',
|
Stealin', rape and larceny
|
Well I heard that you can stop it Lord
|
But you just let it be
|
It make you look down and shake your head
|
They act like rabid monkeys
|
Chained up in a zoo
|
And the Bible says that each of us
|
Is modeled after you
|
Well hell, that should offend you Lord
|
If it does, here's what you do
|
|
You ought to look down and shake your head
|
Look down and shake your head
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
Jump down and wake the dead
|
Jump down and wake them
|
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
|
|
Oh Lord, can't you see?
|
What this has done to me?
|
I've lost my faith in thee
|
Woes me.
|
Well the preacher on the TV
|
He tells me if I'm poor
|
I should give him all my money
|
Cause the Lord will give me more
|
Well I saw him wink and
|
Drag a sack of cash on out the door
|
Well, he bought himself a Cadillac
|
And now I got less than before!
|
Oh!
|
|
Look down and shake your head
|
Look down and shake your head
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
You better jump down and wake the dead
|
Jump down and wake them
|
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
|
[2x]
|
|
They say you'll bring down Armageddon
|
They say you'll break the Seventh Seal
|
Well I hope you bring down Armageddon
|
Cause through the fire and the brimstone
|
At least I'll finally know you're real
|
Real, real, real! Oh!
|
|
Oh Lord! How can it be?
|
That you won't talk to me?
|
Oh woe, woe's me, poor me
|
|
Look down and shake your head
|
Look down and shake your head
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
Get down and shake a leg
|
You better jump down and wake the dead
|
Jump down and wake them
|
Oh Lord! Oh Lord!
|
[2x]
|
|
People on the street, they're ugly, mean and rude
|
They're bumping into me, they're bumping into you
|
They never say "excuse me" or "how do you do".
|
Oh lord
|
Oh lord
|
|
I swear to you the next fool who come shootin' his mouth off
|
'Bout his almighty friend up in the sky
|
He's gonna get a mighty load of me when I sound off
|
In the way of kick right in his eye
|
|
You're like my landlord in this hovel where I sit
|
I always pay my rent but you ain't never fixing shit (shut yo' mouth!)
|
You should take a look around Lord, your world is just the pits
|
Oh Lord, Woooaaaah Looord
|
