I'M A WITNESS
By Tom Gray and Mark Johnson, Single Coil Music (BMI)
She buys her jackpot ticket,
Puts it on a credit card.
A pack of smokes,
She just can't quit it.
She wonders why life's so hard.
Faces she never sees,
Wheels behind the wheels,
They look at her and you and me
Like cattle in the field.
Yes, I'm a witness.
I've seen all I can stand.
Yes, I'm a witness.
Got to raise my hand.
They say a man is just a man,
But two is a company.
And while they're giving with one hand
They're taking away with three.
A soldier dies when he is told,
'Cause that's what a soldier's for.
But a man who buys all that he's sold,
He ain't free no more.
Yes, I'm a witness.
I've seen all I can stand.
Yes, I'm a witness.
Got to raise my hand.
If religion was a thing you could buy
If religion was a thing you could buy, yeah
If religion was a thing you could buy, well, well,
The rich'd go to heaven, and let the rest all go to hell.
Yes, I'm a witness.
I've seen all I can stand.
Yes, I'm a witness.
Got to raise my hand.
