No Wonder Why

I was born and christened by the river I put my fate into the hands of men They say one day the Good Lord will deliver The truth is that I doubt it now and then It is no wonder why I went out in the world to get my money It found a way into my dirty hand It tells a joke that never will be funny cnd it can make a monster of a man It is no wonder why You can understand me Even when I speak in tongues You never reprimand me Screaming at the top of lungs I believe you know me Better than I know myself The king is setting fire to the city He pays a working girl to watch it burn The preacher says you know it's such a pity The Son of God still waiting to return It is no wonder why You can understand me Even when I speak in tongues You never reprimand me Screaming at the top of lungs I believe you know me Better than I know myself
