Bear Witness

There's a mountain weighing on my mind
Heavy as Catholic guilt
One billion bodies in heaven
I'm a mess of knotted rope
Walked down to Central
Had to meet my man
Sign said "diabetic needle
Cash in hand"

The revolution will be commercialized
Find shelter where you can
Never too far from the bottom
Twenty story from the top
So come on, baby, do the down-and-out
Come on, baby, do the down-and-out with me
Come on, baby, do the down-and-out
Come on, baby, do the down-and-out with me

Fill up on the body of Christ
No scraps to spare
Fill up on the body of Christ
No scraps to spare
"Woke up this morning
Got myself a gun"
"Woke up this morning
Got myself a gun"
