Gonna change my way of thinking
Make myself a different set of rules
Gonna change my way of thinking
Make myself a different set of rules
I put my good foot forward
And stop being influenced by fools
So much oppression
Can't keep track of it no more
So much oppression
Can't keep track of it no more
Sons becoming husbands to their mothers
And old men turning young daughters into whores
Stripes on your shoulders
Stripes on your back and on your hands
Stripes on your shoulders
Stripes on your back and on your hands
Swords piercing your side
Blood and water flowing through the land
Well, don't know which one is worse
Doing your own thing or just being cool
Well, don't know which one is worse
Doing your own thing or just being cool
You remember only about the brass ring
You forget all about the golden rule
You can mislead a man
You can take a hold of his heart with your eyes
You can mislead a man
You can take a hold of his heart with your eyes
But there's only one authority
And that's the authority on high
I got a God-fearing woman
One I can easily afford
I got a God-fearing woman
One I can easily afford
She can do the Georgia crawl
She can walk in the spirit of the Lord
Jesus said, "Be ready
You know not the hour in which I come"
Jesus said, "Be ready
You know not the hour in which I come"
He said, "He who is not for Me is against Me"
Just so you know where he's coming from
There's a kingdom called Heaven
A place where there is no pain of birth
There's a kingdom called Heaven
A place where there is no pain of birth
Well, the Lord created it, mister
About the same time He made the earth
Make myself a different set of rules
Gonna change my way of thinking
Make myself a different set of rules
I put my good foot forward
And stop being influenced by fools
So much oppression
Can't keep track of it no more
So much oppression
Can't keep track of it no more
Sons becoming husbands to their mothers
And old men turning young daughters into whores
Stripes on your shoulders
Stripes on your back and on your hands
Stripes on your shoulders
Stripes on your back and on your hands
Swords piercing your side
Blood and water flowing through the land
Well, don't know which one is worse
Doing your own thing or just being cool
Well, don't know which one is worse
Doing your own thing or just being cool
You remember only about the brass ring
You forget all about the golden rule
You can mislead a man
You can take a hold of his heart with your eyes
You can mislead a man
You can take a hold of his heart with your eyes
But there's only one authority
And that's the authority on high
I got a God-fearing woman
One I can easily afford
I got a God-fearing woman
One I can easily afford
She can do the Georgia crawl
She can walk in the spirit of the Lord
Jesus said, "Be ready
You know not the hour in which I come"
Jesus said, "Be ready

Just so you know where he's coming from
There's a kingdom called Heaven
A place where there is no pain of birth
There's a kingdom called Heaven
A place where there is no pain of birth
Well, the Lord created it, mister
About the same time He made the earth
