That fight is in an old palm grail _
_ _ Underneath the broken old neon sign
I [Cm] used to read Jesus saves _
[Eb] I'm all the way to the rich folk
[Cm] And I see how they're living it up
[Eb] While the poor they eat from hand to mouth
[Cm] Rich drink it from a golden cup _
[Eb] _ It just makes me [Cm] wonder
So [Eb] many news I'm [Ab] viewing _
