Lyrics and Chords

Two schools in the same town
Two schools children abound
One school has most of the books
Two schools so different with a slight look

One school has heat and running water
One school for the poor man's daughter
One school gleaming in the sun
One school works harder for lessons done

You can make excuses by the book if you must
But if Jesus was here he'd walk away and shake his head
You can make your excuses by the book if you must
But if Jesus was here he walk away and shake his head in disgust

Some say the laws are on the books
Take the easy way and don't give it another look
But when you lay your children to sleep tonight
Know that they understand what is wrong and what is right

Southern stories alive in the north
Should be common sense
Shouldn't need a court
But common sense and fear
Walk hand in hand
Hourglass never stops it's sand

You can make excuses by the book if you must
But if Jesus were here he'd shake his head and walk away
You can make excuses by the book if you must
But if Jesus were here he'd shake his head and walk away
If Jesus were here he'd look you in the eye and walk away
In disgust, in disgust, mmm, mmm...
