Song for Mr. C Lyrics

Saturday morning, yeah

I come in late

Just to find if you were there

Just to look at your long brown hair

And dream a dream out in the hall

Was that my name that's just been called?

I don't know, it could be

Have you got something to tell on me?

If you got something to tell on me, babe

It better be good

Even though you hate me so much

I'm still comin' back

Like you knew I would

You can't believe

What I been through these last few months

It's very difficult to tell the difference

Between the trumps and the down home dumps

Only one thing I can say to you

Even if you don't believe it's true

It's true

It's our turn now

To find out where we're going

It's our turn now

To find out where you've been

It's our turn now

To keep the new direction

It's your turn now

To cast off all your sin

Fellatia, Fellatia, how do you plead?

You don't have to plead

For anything that you really need

Plead, have mercy

When the wind starts blowin' hard

And this cardboard world we're livin' in

It ain't forgotten, out in the yard

Out in the yard

Where the air is cold

And there ain't no leaves to fall

He's lookin' hard at the ground for somethin'

Somethin' that won't show up

I keep lookin' back over my shoulder

Couple of good friends goin' by

Pour some wine over their fire

Don't let the tears stay in your eyes

He's not gone so very far

I know he's very near

'Cause every time I call his name

I know that he can hear

It's our turn now

To find out where we're going

It's our turn now

To find out where you've been

It's our turn now

To keep the new direction

It's your turn now

To cast off all your sin

Hey, Mr. Roberts, don't you tell me no lies

I don't mind you being vain

Pick up the phone in your whitewashed house

Simpering that same refrain

Three to five more years

Is all you got

For you to do your nasty thing

Making rain, suffering pain

Telling everybody that it's in his name

His name, whose name

What are you telling me?

I don't believe your tales

Too many people in this world

Don't like being snails

If you gonna do it

Better get it together

Better go and make the change

Do it right now

Do it while it's warm

Do it while it's there within your range

It won't be so very hard

You better have no fear

'Cause by the time you get it done

It'll be so clear

It's our turn now

To find out where we're going

It's our turn now

To find out where you've been

It's our turn now

To keep the new direction

It's your turn now

To cast off all your sin
