Lyrics

Cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
There is no chicago urban blues, more heartfelt than my lament for you
I'm a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache, with a secret tooth
For the cherry on the cake
With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say
While I waste my time, inregretting that the days
Went from perfect to just o.k
Lordy, what would I do? don't call me possessive
But god if he's smoochin' with you
I's a jealous boy root, -the world shoyuld be free
But don't you go following suit my heart is aligned-
It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined
Its hard to defend, ba ba ba, ba, ba ba
These feelings tuppentup friend
Its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba its cruel, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba its cruel, its crueler than cruel
But cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
Should a love be tender, and bleed out loud?
Or be tougher than tough, and prouder than proud
If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt
Am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt?
But I don't know how to describe the modern rose
When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes
With the fever of purple prose
But cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
Cruel is the gospel thats sets us all free
Then takes you away from me
-My contribution, to urban blues
