1
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
2
No, I don't wanna work in a building downtown
3
I don't know what I'm gonna do
4
Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two
5
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
6
No, I don't wanna see when the planes hit the ground
7
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
8
I don't wanna work in a building downtown
9
Parking their cars in the underground
10
Their voices when they scream - they make no sound
11
I wanna see the cities rust
12
And the trouble makers riding on the back of the bus
13
Dear God, I'm a good Christian man
14
In your glory, I know you understand
15
That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid
16
My girl's thirteen, but she don't act her age
17
She can sing like a bird in a cage
18
Oh Lord, if you could see her when she's up on that stage!
19
You know that I'm a God fearing man
20
You know that I'm a God fearing man
21
But I just gotta know if it's part of your plan
22
To seat my daughters there by your right hand
23
I know that you'll do what is right, Lord
24
For they are the lanterns, and you are the light
25
Now I'm overcome
26
By the light of day
27
My lips are near, but my heart is far away
28
Tell me what to say
29
I'll be your mouthpiece!
30
Into the light of a bridge that burns
31
As I drive from the city with the money that I earned
32
Into the black of a starless sky
33
I'm staring into nothing, and I'm asking you why
34
Lord, will you make her a star?
35
So the world can see who you really are
36
Little girl, you're old enough to understand
37
That you'll always be a stranger in a strange, strange land
38
The men are gonna come while you're fast asleep
39
So you better just stay close and hold on to me
40
If my little mocking bird don't sing
41
Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring
42
Dear God, would you send me a child?
43
Oh God, would you send me a child?
44
Cause I wanna put it up on the TV screen
45
So the world can see what your true word means
46
Lord, would you just send me a sign?
47
Cause I just gotta know if I'm wasting my time!
48
Now I'm overcome
49
By the light of day
50
My lips are near, but my heart is far away
51
Now the war is won
52
How come nothing tastes good?
53
You're such a sensitive child!
54
Oh, you're such a sensitive child!
55
I know you're tired, but it's alright
56
I just need you to sing for me tonight
57
You're gonna have your day in the sun
58
You know God loves the sensitive ones
59
Oh, my little bird in a cage!
60
Oh, my little bird in a cage!
61
I need you to get up for me, up on that stage
62
And show the men that you're old for your age
63
Now ain't the time for fear
64
But if you don't take it, it'll disappear
65
Oh, my little mockingbird, sing!
66
Oh, my little mockingbird, sing!
67
I need you to get up on that stage for me, honey
68
And show the men it's not about the money
69
Wanna hold a mirror up to the world
70
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl
71
Do you know where I was at your age?
72
Any idea where I was at your age?
73
I was working downtown for the minimum wage
74
And I'm not gonna let you just throw it all away
75
I'm through being cute, I'm through being nice
76
Oh, tell me, Lord, am I the Antichrist?
