Don't wanna work in a building downtown. No I don't wanna work in a building downtown. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Cause the planes keep crashing always two by two. Don't wanna work in a building downtown. No I don't wanna see it when the planes hit the ground. Don't wanna work in a building downtown. Don't wanna work in a building downtown. Parkin' the cars in the underground. The voices when they scream well they make no sound. Wanna see the cities rust. And the troublemakers ridin' on the back of the bus. Dear God I'm a good Christian man. I'm your boy i know you understand. That you gotta work hard and you gotta get paid. The girl's thirteen but she don't act her age. She can sing like a bird in cage. Oh Lord if you could see her when she's up on that stage. You know that I'm a god-fearin' man. You know that I'm a god-fearin' man. I just gotta know if it's a part of your plan. To see my darling stand by your right hand. I know you will do what's right Lord. For they are the lanterns and you are the light. Now I'm overcome. By the light of day. My lips are near. But my heart is far away. Tell me what to say. I'll be your mouthpiece. Into the light of a bridge that burns. As I drive through the city with the money that I earn. To the dark of a starless sky. I won't stare into nothing and I'm asking you why. Lord let me make her a star. So the world can see who you really are. Little girl you're old enough to understand. You'll always be a stranger in a strange strange land. Men are gonna come while you're fast asleep. So you better just stay close and hold onto me. If mama's mockingbird don't sing well. Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring. Dear God will you send me a child?. Oh God will you send me a child?. 'cause I wanna put it up on the tv screen. So the world can see what your true Word means. Lord won't you send me a sign?. 'cause i just gotta know if I'm wastin' my time. Now I'm overcome. By the light of day. My lips are near. But my heart is far away. But now the war is won. How come nothing tastes good?. Oh you're such a sensitive child (sensitive child). You know you're such a sensitive child. I know you're tired but it's all right. I just needed you to sing for me tonight. You're gonna have your day in the sun. You know God loves the sensitive ones. Oh my little girl in a cage. Oh my little bird in a cage. I need you to get up for me up on that stage. Show all the men that you're old for your age. Now in the times of fear. But if you don't take it it'll disappear. Oh my little mockingbird sing. Come on my little mockingbird sing. I need you to get up on the stage for me honey. Show the men it's not about the money. Want to hold a mirror up to the world. So that they can see themselves inside my little girl. Do you know where i was at your age?. Any idea where i was at your age?. I was workin' downtown for the minimum wage!. And I couldn't let you just throw it all away. Threw me a kid God throw me a knife. So tell me Lord am I the Antichrist?
