Lyrics

Something to crow about

Sitting on my hands
Sitting on the fence
Dreaming up an alibi in self-defence
Never bothered God
Thought he'd better things to do
Than to hear me complain about the things that I've been through

Well hail there Mary don't you feel like a change?
Take some time out - put yourself out of range
Walk with the Devil give your flip side a break
Give your congregation something else to crow about

Standing like a statue
Waiting for the call
From some lonely hearted sinner who just wants to tell it all
The transfer of emotion is a dubious thing
You just burden someone else so you can do it all again

Well we all got a reason for those little white lies
Noone will get hurt if we pretend and close our eyes
But then along comes the sinner holier than thou'
They got something to crow about - just got to let it out

Well hail there Mary don't you feel like a change?
Take some time out - put yourself out of range
Walk with the Devil give your flip side a break
Give your congregation something else to crow about

Well after all that's said and done
You've got nobody else to blame
But still you beg forgiveness - a pardon for your shame
Just learn to live with it - what you gotta lose?
Be like the rest of us - learn to sing the Blues

Well we all got a reason for those little white lies
Noone will get hurt if we pretend and close our eyes
But then along comes the sinner holier than thou'
They got something to crow about - just got to let it out

Well hail there Mary don't you feel like a change?
Take some time out - put yourself out of range
Walk with the Devil give your flip side a break
Give your congregation something else to crow about
