Come on and watch me shine
(Check it out)
Lord strike me down
(Check it out)
Lord, strike me down now if I'm lyin'
Speak on up till his voice breaks through the silence
Let the man whose words ring true
Like the world is mine today
I'm out of time, I'm out of rhyme, I'm out of reason
I've tried to sell my soul but no one's buyin'
Like the world is mine today
Like the world is mine today
You can't always get the things you want, love
Recognize the prize they'll pay In their lifetime
Cast the first stone and begin the violence
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Plant my body like a seed
Got a fistful of dollar and pocketful of love
Let the ones who lose their way
Through the silence
Uh, tell me what you need
Watch me shine
Watch me shine
Like the world is mine today
Let the man who's free from sin
Sittin' you wait for my roads to cross
(Check it out)
You nail me down and you watch me bleed
Come on and watch me shine
Like the world is mine today
The story's old, the tale been told by many scholar
Bronx Style Bob: watch me bleed
Begin the violence
Lord strike me down
Come on and watch me shine
Come on and watch me shine
Lord strike me down
Till the soil and part the weed
Plant my body like a seed
Come on and watch me shine
Free from sin

God above if You hear me cryin'
So fill my hole with precious dirt, love

So lay my head against the earth
Watch me shine

Get what you deserve or maybe what you need
Season's change and leave me out in the cold
It's gettin' cold It's time for dyin'

Live to see just one more day in the sunshine
Come on and watch me shine
Let the ones who choose to stray

Like the world is mine today
