Bible Baby

Mama's first baby, barely two
 Daddy needed the bottle more than you
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
 Mama got a rap sheet keepin' you fed
 said there was nothing to do instead
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
 Now run off to your room
 Put that Bible in your hand
 Don't expect to see you soon
 Looks like you found your promise land
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
 Barely 17 and a voice of gold
 gave up the guitar to save your soul
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
 Mama keeps saying everything's cool
 but you know different from the kids in school
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
 Now the world just thinks you're crazy
 The preachers say you're lazy
 But glory to the Highest - glory to the Highest
 Mama's poor baby at 32 - Daddy's still drunk,
 he blames you
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
 Gave up on the world you never saw
 Gave your life to a God that ignored it all
 Praise the Lord - Hallelujah - you're alive
