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 hanging 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
Bringing my soul brothers down
And although you're smiling
Your hate will not cease
So just face yourself babe
And leave my soul in peace
Well I'll stay out of your way
If you keep out of mine
If I only could let the evil go
Oh, you know we'll both go down in fire
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 hanging 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
Bringing my soul brothers down
And although you're smiling
Your hate will not cease
So just face yourself babe
And leave my soul in peace
Well I'll stay out of your way
If you keep out of mine
If I only could let the evil go
Oh, you know we'll both go down in fire
