Life Of Crime

from Parking Spaces by Paul Fogarty

/

lyrics

I know you’ve heard it all before
But lip service won’t pay for the plight of the poor
I know you’ve heard it all before
But you turn the sick and homeless away from your door
Hey man, I aim to turn your head
Oh woman, I aim to turn your head
And if I can turn your head just one time
Maybe hypocrisy will be seen as a life of crime

The children weep, the babies starve
Their faces are cut into the trees we carve
We buy them cheap and we sell them hard
Their cries can be heard in the careers we carve
Hey man, I aim to turn your head
Oh woman, I aim to turn your head
And if I can turn your head just one time
Maybe hypocrisy will be seen as a life of crime

The churches rob and the churches steal
your weekly confession is another cheap deal
The governors mixing drinks for the corporate shills
Jesus turns in the grave the devil got the chills
Hey man, I aim to turn your head
Oh woman, I aim to turn your head
And if I can turn your head just one time
Maybe hypocrisy will be seen as a life of crime

Hey man, I aim to turn your head
Oh woman, I aim to turn your head
And if I can turn your head just one time
Maybe hypocrisy will be seen as a life of crime

I know you heard it all before
but lip service won't pay for the plight of the poor
