God gave Moses a few little rules
Said I want you to pass them around
Take a look at those old fools
I can't believe the shit that's going down

You're supposed to have a good time
But I think you take it a little too far
Watchin' your life in vista-vision
Monkey on your back, a brand new car

Well, Shakespeare threw down his pencil
Said I think I'm gonna start layin' brick
Too much of this Romeo stuff's
Enough to make anybody sick

"To be or not to be"
I mean what's that supposed to mean?
I'm changin' my image tomorrow
Be a groupie, make the scene

Pray for me if you want to
If you don't want to, don't stay
Somebody shot the Vicar
And the minister's on his way

Sellin' open legs on the corner
Punch and Judy workin' uptown
Pray for me if you want to
Before some fool shoots you down
Well, the man in the cage is always for freedom
The way of the transgressor is hard
Cain and Abel and their old man
Playin' croquet in the backyard

Two guys beat up the sole survivor
Up beat on the back street
I don't really wanna get involved
Won't someone help me to my feet

Pray for me if you want to
If you don't want to, don't stay
Somebody shot the Vicar
And the minister's on his way

Sellin' open legs on the corner
Punch and Judy workin' uptown
Pray for me if you want to
Before someone shoots you down
