Martin Sexton - Keep It Simple lyrics

I walked into church and they wouldn't let me in They said they didn't like the shape I was in They was all fat and white and very rich And I was wearin' my rags and scratchin' my itch Oh, I didn't know that they didn't know They could not see it in my eyes But they didn't know that I was Jesus in disguise They didn't know I had Buddha in my eyes He rolls down like an ancient river Deep and dark and makes me quiver With the truth in my belly and the thing in my head That made me once knew what my father once said He said, "Keep it simple." I'm a human being Keep it simple Truckers and mourners and soldier men Women and pretenders, come on in But Daddy, I don't understand that language at all I got a hankerin' for nothin' else Even if Buddha's sittin' there on my shelf Smokin' a big doobie or was that a cigar I dunno, it's illegal to.. Keep it simple I'm a human being I'm a human being Keep it simple Ooh, my lad and my little la**ie Were going down to hang out in the tall gra**ie But then I said, "Where you goin' with that bucket in hand?" And she said "We're goin' to the well to get some sand." Eee cookie, cookie, cookie, cookie cutter, cuttin' cut, cut, cookie cutter, pick it (???) Thinkin' blue and white and there you go It's America, it's America all around, you know They paved paradise and put up a pool table They started playin' billiards and they said I wasn't in the club So I couldn't play Because I was gay 'Cause I was black or red or white or blue or whatever I walked into church they said they didn't like me I didn't know why, but they said, "Don't rock me." I rock my roll and I rolled my rock if I taught too able and Ooh, look at the wing I'm wearin' Ooh, it's somethin' good and somethin' blue and pearly It's somethin' that I skewed when I was with a girlie Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel, Gabriel come down on my side Feel my feign, feel my pride Feel my lovin' and my hatin' inside I'm a human being Keep it simple Keep it simple They didn't know that Yahweh was hanging on the side They didn't know that I wasn't... One thing I gotta know is where did you get that dress? Where did you get the makeup, who made the mess? You've got 45 pairs of shoes in the closet I've only got two, let's make a deposit In the bank Drop your bombs and drop your drawers Make me see your bedsores Find me in my think fin I'll be a licker I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, I dunno I ain't no fool, but my momma told me "Stay close to you-know-who and don't grow old before your time Is up You gotta have some fun once in a while Have some Fun Once in a while."
