Lyrics The Unsuspecting - Barren Cross

The Unsuspecting

A man walks into a corner grocery on 5th street\nPoints his gun at the unsuspecting\nSays give me your money. Give it now\nBut if you move I’ll pump you full of lead to the ground\nWith trembling hands, he’s handed a bag of small bills\nThat don’t add up to his mainline price tag\nIn a fit of rage he puts the barrel in the man’s mouth\nPulls the trigger and is off with a blood thirsty shout\nThe unsuspecting, unsuspecting, oh yeah\nNext day he rises from his sleep full of hunger\nNo money for food cause he spent it on dope\nSo he goes in search for another unsuspecting\nHe eyes a bank but invades without logic\nHe saw who pushed the button, and gunned him down\nBut he got caught this time how he’s downtown\nSo the court gives mercy to a still merciless man\nOut on parole years later the victim’s forgotten\nNow he’s out but it hasn’t changed him a bit\nHe’s still the killer inside, and he’ll steal in a minute\nThat day a corner preacher said God can heal ya man\nJust get on your knees and ask forgiveness. He’ll set ya free\nBut he knows his way into a store where the money looks good\nBut this time he’s met by a suspecting man\nWho raises a gun but still not quick on the draw\nAnd is gunned down quickly his face filled with awe…\nThe problem is not all that this man is sick\nFor he doesn’t fear a capital punishment\nHe knows that the system seems more on his side\nTo protect the guilty so the innocent must die
