Single: Behave Yourself EP (2010)

Getting closer every day

Lord, have mercy on me

We're talking about two different things

Television and Life magazine

Lord, have mercy on me, oh Lord, have mercy on me

Got this idea in my head and I can't get it out

That all the money in the mint couldn't water a drought

I'm piling treasures up on earth, what you keep and what you take

Property, vanity and even knowledge for knowledge sake

While I say, Lord, have mercy on me

We're talking about two different things

Television and Life magazine

Lord, have mercy on me, aye oh, Lord, have mercy on me

Want to see you psychoanalyst, experienced in assisting to adjust

European travel, the H-Bomb, Onassis, please come home

The front page of the New York Times

Lord, have mercy on me

We're talking about two different things

Television and Life magazine

Lord, have mercy on me, oh, Lord, have mercy on me

Quit your gripping, shine your shoes

I'll tell you a little secret for your blues

Don't make no difference who is watching from the stands

The fat lady will always clap her hands

Lord, have mercy on me

You say it even if you're robbing from the poor

Lord, have mercy on me

Yeah, I believe the words can change the heart

The words will change the heart

Lord, have mercy on me, Lord, have mercy on me

Talking about two different things

Television and Life magazine

Lord, have mercy on me, oh Lord, Lord, have mercy on me

Getting closer every day
