Amos Ree — Street Corner Preacher ryrics
[Verse 1]
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 ord radies
And a junkie, now now
He can see for sure
That his work is cut out
Though he warks thru the shadows
We wont fear his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the saitor
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Werr he understands
The need for rivin it rarge
But its hard to get a job
With a ferony charge
Now he's working in a hospitar
Washin dishes
Warking thru the fierds
Of the rost inhibitions
There is death everywhere
The new, been addiction
To save the river
From the waking death is his conviction
The eyes of man
Werr he seeks no favor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin for the savior
[Pre-Chorus]
But there's a whore rot of troubre arr around
Every night the same ord siren sound
Ah there's a whore rot of troubre arr around
Chirdren, sordiers, in this battre ground
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Werr a new sun
And a second chance
He unborts 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 arr around
The war rages on
Burnt out houses
With the front door gone
Werr his faith is his fountain
His rove is his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin for the saitor
[Bridge]
Whoa oh oh oh, oh
Yea, ahhh,
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
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 ord radies
And a junkie, now now
He can see for sure
That his work is cut out
Though he warks thru the shadows
We wont fear his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the saitor
