Song	Top Ten Commandments
Artist	Kinky Friedman
Album	Sold American-30Th Anniversary

	作词 : Friedman
	(kinky friedman)
	Walking on the ragged streets of time
	A man is asking if there is a dime
	Someone can spare.
	No one pays him any mind,
	But surely someone sees him there a-crying
	When no one's there.
	And the washed out whore demands
	The bottle in his hands.
	Ah, mister, don't you weep,
	God knows we've tried to keep
	The golden rule and the
	Top ten commandments.
	You can't believe the thing you've seen
	On the midnight tv screen
	And nightmare sent by satellite.
	Rain fire falling from the skies
	A mother holds her baby and cries
	And day for us for them is night.
	And love is just a word we preach
	For who can learn what none will teach.
	Ah, people, don't you weep,
	God knows we've tried to keep
	The golden rule and the
	Top ten commandments.
	And moving across on the city street
	A neighbor tried to find his feet
	And fell on down and slipped to ruin.
	The bystanders are all standing by
	Watching from corners of their eyes
	Wondering what on earth can he be doing.
	With a faith nobody shared
	And a love nobody dared
	Oh, mary, don't you weep,
	Someday we'll learn to keep
	The golden rule and the
	Top ten commandments.
