There But for the Grace of God Go I |
Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child |
A lovely girl with a crooked smile |
Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain’t fit |
For a kid to grow up in |
Let’s find a place they say, somewhere far away |
With no blacks, no Jews and no gays |
There but for the grace of God, there go I |
There but for the grace of God, there go I, I, I, I, I, I, I |
Poppy 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 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 |
There but for the grace of God, there go I |
There but for the grace of God, oh go I (could be me, could be you) |
There but for the grace of God, oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I |
Baby, she turns out to be a natural freak |
Gaining weight and losing sleep |
And when she’s sweet sixteen, she packs her things and leaves |
With a man she met on the street |
Carmen starts to bawl, bangs her head to the wall |
Too much love is worse than none at all |
There but for the grace of God, there go I |
There but for the grace of God, there go I |
There but for the grace of God, oh go I |
There but for the grace of God, oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I |
(Solo) |
Carlos and Carmen Vidal just had a child |
A lovely girl with a crooked smile |
Now they gotta split 'cause the Bronx ain’t fit |
For a kid to grow up in |
Let’s find a place they say, somewhere far away |
With no blacks, no Jews and no gays |
There but for the grace of God, there go I |
There but for the grace of God, oh go I, I, I, I, I, I, I. |
