Pray For Me Lyrics - John Mellencamp

God gave Moses a few little rules 

And he said I want you to pass them around 

Take a look at those old tools 

I can't believe the shit that's going down 

You're supposed to have a good time 

But I think you take it a little too far 

Watchin' your life in vista-vision 

A monkey on your back, a brand new car 

Well Shakespeare threw down his pencil, 

Said I think I'm gonna start layin' brick 

Too much of this Romeo stuff enough to make 

Anybody sick 

"To be or not to be," I mean what's that supposed to mean 

I'm changin' my image tomorrow 

Be a groupie, make the scene

Chorus: 

Pray for me if you want to 

If you don't want to don't stay 

Somebody shot the Vicar and the minister's on his way 

Sellin' open legs on the corner 

Punchin' Judy workin' uptown 

Pray for me if you want to 

Before some fool shoots you down 

Photos 

The man in the cage is always for freedom 

The way of the transgressor is hard 

Cain and Abel and their old man 

Playin' croquet in the back yard 

Two guys beat up the sole survivor 

Up beat on the back street 

I don't really want to get involved 

Won't someone help me to my feet. 

Chorus
