the new revolution of christ
well, i found me a girl and we settled down in a small wooden house by the side of the road where the cars rush by every hour of every day first we had joe, then we had anne marie and from the very beginning it was plain to see that she wasn't quite like anyone else the doctors, they called her autistic the neighbors, they just called her dumb and we barely had any money so i was out on the floor trying to make us some well, jenny she'd say keep faith in the lord and i'd put on some bruce just so i wouldn't get bored cause what has our lord and saviour done for me lately? they say it's a new revolution of christ well, jen she's done nothing but pray all our lives and me, i ain't always been faithful but he knows that i've tried and, well, i know it ain't right but i swear i'd nail him again if i could cause i need someone to carry the weight of my sins anne she needed some help that we couldn't afford on the factory pay so i called up one of my old friends from the phone in the kitchen one bright summer day we met down in christina's bar yeah, i brought my banjo he brought his guitar well, at least we both brought the cases but filled them with ski masks and guns now jen kisses the window and prays for parole gotta pray for something and it's too late for my soul she says they're all doin alright and anne's gettin the help that she needs ever since the tv picked up on our story seems like we're all on the fast track to glory but all glory, they say, is fleeting the young and the old they call it the new revolution of christ me i just lie in my bunk and wait for the lights and i think of my boy and my wife and my sweet little annie marie
