Oh Lord lyrics

You better look down and shake your head

Look down and shake your head

Get down and shake a leg

Get down and shake a leg

Jump down and wake the dead

Jump down and wake them

Oh Lord! Oh Lord!

Oh Lord! Can it be true?

These things they say about you

Oh what am I to do?

Oh Lord

When I look out of my window

Everything I see

Is hate and murder, stabbin',

Stealin', rape and larceny

Well I heard that you can stop it Lord

But you just let it be

It make you look down and shake your head

They act like rabid monkeys

Chained up in a zoo

And the Bible says that each of us

Is modeled after you

Well hell, that should offend you Lord

If it does, here's what you do

You ought to look down and shake your head

Look down and shake your head

Get down and shake a leg

Get down and shake a leg

Jump down and wake the dead

Jump down and wake them

Oh Lord! Oh Lord!

Oh Lord, can't you see?

What this has done to me?

I've lost my faith in thee

Oh see

Well the preacher on the TV

He tells me if I'm poor

I should give him all my money

Cause the Lord will give me more

Well I saw him wink and

Drag a sack of cash on out the door

Well, he bought himself a Cadillac

And now I got less than before!

Oh!

Look down and shake your head

Look down and shake your head

Get down and shake a leg

Get down and shake a leg

You better jump down and wake the dead

Jump down and wake them

Oh Lord! Oh Lord!

They say you'll bring down Armageddon

They say you'll break the Seventh Seal

Well I hope you bring down Armageddon

Cause through the fire and the brimstone

At least I'll finally know you're real

Real, real, real! Oh!

Oh Lord! How can it be?

That you won't talk to me?

Oh woe, woe's me, poor me

Look down and shake your head

Look down and shake your head

Get down and shake a leg

Get down and shake a leg

You better jump down and wake the dead

Jump down and wake them

Oh Lord! Oh Lord!

People on the street, they're ugly, mean and rude

They're bumping into me, they're bumping into you

They never say "excuse me" or "how do you do".

Oh lord

Oh lord

I swear to you the next fool who come shootin' his mouth off

'Bout his almighty friend up in the sky

He's gonna get a mighty load of me when I sound off

In the way of kick right in his eye

You're like my landlord and ??? where I sit

I always pay my rent and you ain't never fixing shit (shut yo' mouth!)

You should take a look around Lord, your world is just the pits

Oh Lord, Woooaaaah Looord
