Street Corner Preacher

He got a new mercy
A new grace
Street corner preacher
With the angry face

He got two years off
For good behavior
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the city

There's two old ladies
And a junkie, now now
He can see for sure
That his work is cut out

Though he walks through the shadows
We wont fear his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Working for the savior

[Chorus]
Bau, bau
Put it on back
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau,
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah, bau bau
Ya ya

Well he understands
The need for living it large
But its hard to get a job
With a felony charge

Now he's working in a hospital
Washing dishes
Walking through the fields
Of the lost inhibitions

There is death everywhere
The new, been addiction
To save the liver
From the waking death is his conviction

The eyes of man
Well he seeks no favor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin' for the savior

But there's a whole lot of trouble all around
Every night the same old siren sound
Ah there's a whole lot of trouble all around
Children, soldiers, in this battle ground

[Chorus]

Well a new sun
And a second chance
He unbolts the door
And hops ever the fence

Young woman with a baby
That her daddy gave her
Back in the neighborhood
Workin' for the savior

But all around
The war rages on
Burnt out houses
With the front door gone

Well his faith is his fountain
His love is his neighbor
Back in the neighborhood
Workin' for the savior

Whoa oh oh oh, oh
Yea, ahhh,

Bau, bau
Put it on back
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau,
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah bau bau
Put it ooh bop
Ah put it in
Ah, bau bau
Ya ya

He got a new mercy
A new grace
Street corner preacher
With the angry face
He got two years off
For good behavior
Back in the neighborhood
Workin' for the savior
