[00:02.87] ............
[00:03.50]
[00:16.34] He got a new mercy
[00:18.09] A new grace
[00:19.54] Street corner preacher
[00:20.72] With the angry face
[00:22.04] He got 2 years off
[00:23.91] For good behavior
[00:25.66] Back in the neighborhood
[00:27.28] Working for the city
[00:28.40] There's two old ladies
[00:29.91] And a junkie, now now
[00:31.66] He can see for sure
[00:33.22] That his work is cut out
[00:34.90] Though he walks thru the shadows
[00:36.91] We wont fear his neighbor
[00:38.28] Back in the neighborhood
[00:39.34] Working for the saitor
[00:41.41] Bau, bau
[00:42.40] Put it on back
[00:43.60] Ah put it in
[00:44.72] Ah bau bau,
[00:45.40] Put it ooh bop

[00:53.16] Well he understands
[00:54.35] The need for livin it large
[00:55.91] But its hard to get a job
[00:57.60] With a felony charge
[00:59.16] Now he's working in a hospital
[01:00.97] Washin dishes
[01:01.41]
[01:03.19] Walking thru the fields
[01:04.25] Of the lost inhibitions
[01:05.06] There is death everywhere
[01:07.25] The new, been addiction
[01:09.00] To save the liver
[01:10.25] From the waking death is his conviction
[01:12.31] The eyes of man
[01:13.62] Well he seeks no favor
[01:15.00] Back in the neighborhood
[01:15.94] Workin for the savior
[01:17.62]
[01:21.31] But there's a whole lot of trouble all around
[01:24.08]
[01:27.51] Every night the same old siren sound
[01:30.38]
[01:33.19] Ah there's a whole lot of trouble all around
[01:39.00]
[01:39.88] Children, soldiers, in this battle ground

[01:55.26] Ya ya
[01:55.88] Well a new sun
[01:56.69] And a second chance
[01:57.76] He unbolts the door
[01:59.07] And hops ever the fence
[02:01.07] Young woman with a baby
[02:02.44] That her daddy gave her
[02:04.51] Back in the neighborhood
[02:05.51] Workin for the savior
[02:06.82]
[02:07.38] But all around
[02:08.38] The war rages on
[02:10.63] Burnt out houses
[02:11.51] With the front door gone
[02:13.26] Well his faith is his fountain
[02:15.38] His love is his neighbor
[02:17.44] Back in the neighborhood
[02:19.02] Workin for the saitor
[02:21.21]
[02:22.34] Whoa oh oh oh, oh

[02:50.02] He got two years off
[02:51.83] For good behavior
[02:53.40] Back in the neighborhood
[02:54.78] Workin for the savior
