Street Corner Preacher Lyrics

*= One strum
Verse:
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
working for the savior,
That's two old ladies and a junkie now, now He can see for sure that his
work is cut out, Though he walks through the shadows he won't fear his
neighbor, Back in the neighborhood working for the savior,
Chorus:
Bau bau, buh do de da, De da de, bau bau, buh do de da,de da de, Bau
Bau, , buh do de dah, de da de, bau bau, ya ya
Verse:
Well, he understands the need for living it large, But it's hard to get a job
with a felony charge, Now he's working in a hospital washing dishes,
Walking through the fields of the lost inhibitions,
There is death every breath , a new benediction, to save the liver from
awaking, death is his conviction, The eyes of man, well he seeks no
favor, back in the neighborhood working for the savior
Bridge:
But there's a whole lotta trouble all around, Every night the same old siren
Sound, There's a whole lotta trouble all around, Children soldiers in this
battle ground
Verse:
Well, a new sun and a second chance, He unbolts the door and hops over
the fence, Young woman with a baby that her daddy gave her, back in the
neighborhood working 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 labor, Back in the neighborhood
working for the savior,
Whoa, yeah, ahh
Ending:
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
working for the savior
