Gories - There but for the grace of god go i lyrics

Mama and Papa Vidal just had a child A lovely girl with a crooked smile Now they gotta split 'cause the bronx ain't fit For kid to grow up in Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away With no blacks, no Jews and no gays But for the grace of God, oh, go I Oh, I There but for the grace of God, oh go I I I I I I I I I! Poppa and the family left the dirty streets To find a quiet place overseas And year after year the kid has to hear The do's and the don'ts and the dears And when she's ten years old she digs that rock 'n' roll But Poppy bans it from the home But for the grace of God, oh, go I Oh, I There but for the grace of God, oh go I I I I I I I I I! Soon she turns out to be a natural freak Popping pills and smoking weed And when she's sweet sixteen she leaves her big family With a man she met on the streets Mama starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wall Too much love is worse than none at all! But for the grace of God, oh, go I Oh, I There but for the grace of God, oh go I I I I I I I I I! Mama and Papa Vidal just had a child A lovely girl with a crooked smile Now they gotta split 'cause the bronx ain't fit For kid to grow up in Let's find a place they say, somewhere far away With no blacks, no Jews and no gays But for the grace of God, oh, go I Oh, I There but for the grace of God, oh go I I I I I I I I I!
