"To The First Baptist Church Of Jacksonville" lyrics

"To The First Baptist Church Of Jacksonville"

We are the wicked
We are the wicked
We are the wicked
We are the wicked

We are the wicked
That walk these city streets
By your lighthouse
By the riverside

We are the wicked
That walk these city streets
By your lighthouse
By the riverside

We are the ones
Taken for the vandals and the thieves
These filthy streets
Disgust you as they keep you on your knees

The graffiti's just as clear as the writing on the wall

You want it, you got it
Pray that it washes away
You want it, you got it
Feel it through your veins
You want it, you got it
Another dollar, another day
You want it, you got it
Pray that it washes away

You think an open mind can be so dangerous

You want it, you got it
Pray that it washes away
You want it, you got it
Feel it through your veins
You want it, you got it
Another dollar, another day
You want it, you got it
Pray that it washes away

Poor hopeless sinner
Too filled with guilt to see
Thoughts are so betrayed
Pray that it washes away

Poor hopeless sinner
Too filled with guilt to see
Thoughts are so betrayed
Pray that it washes away

We are the wicked
That walk these city streets
By your lighthouse
By the riverside...
