(John Mellencamp/Brian Bec Var) God gave Moses a few little rules And he 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 A 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 enough to make Anybody sick "To be or not to be," I mean, what's that supposed to me I'm changin' my image tomorrow Be a groupie, make the scene CHORUS 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 Punchin' Judy workin' uptown Pray for me if you want to Before some fool shoots you down 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 back yard Two guys beat up the sole survivor Up beat on the back street I don't really want to get involved Won't someone help me to my feet CHORUS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
