Lyrics:
He got a new mercy A new grace Street corner preacher With the angry face He got 2 years off For good behavior Back in the neighborhood Working for the savior There's two old ladies And a junkie, now now He can see for sure That his work is cut out Though he walks thru the shadows We wont fear his neighbor Back in the neighborhood Working for the savior [Chorus:] Bau, bau Put it on back Ah put it in Ah bau bau, Put it ooh bop Ah put it in Ah bau bau Put it ooh bop Ah put it in Ah, bau bau Ya ya [Verse 2:] Well he understands The need for livin' it large But it's hard to get a job With a felony charge Now he's working in a hospital Washin' dishes Walking thru the fields Of the lost and the viscous There is death every breath The new benediction To save the liver From the waking death is his conviction The eyes of man Well he seeks no favor Back in the neighborhood Workin' for the savior [Pre-Chorus] But there's a whole lot of trouble all around Every night the same old siren sound Ah there's a whole lot of trouble all around Children, soldiers, in this battle ground [Chorus:] Ah put it in Ah bau bau Put 'em bop Ah put it in Ah bau bau Put 'em bop Ah put it in A bau bau Ya ya [Verse 3:] Well a new sun And a second chance He unbolts the door And hops ever the fence Young woman with a baby That her daddy gave her Back in the neighborhood Workin' for the savior But all around The war rages on Burnt out houses With the front door gone Well his faith is his fountain His love is his neighbor Back in the neighborhood Workin' for the savior [Bridge:] Whoa oh oh oh, oh Yea, ahhh, [Chorus:] Bau, bau Put it on back Ah put it in Ah bau bau, Put it ooh bop Ah put it in Ah bau bau Put it ooh bop Ah put it in Ah, bau bau Ya ya [Outro:] He got a new mercy A new grace Street corner preacher With the angry face He got two years off For good behavior Back in the neighborhood Workin' for the savior
