Pushed me off the street today
The light in my eyes gets in the way
Of the darkness you pushed me in
You say that it's a sin
We're hangin' around

You told me not to sing today
You say my music gets in the way
'Cause it walks on in
Just as you begin
Bringin' my soul brothers down

And although you are smiling
Your hate will not cease
So just face yourself, babe
And leave my soul in peace

I'll stay out of your way
If you'll keep out of mine
Find the good and let the evil go
Or you know we'll both go down in fire
