Written by 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
|
|
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
