Andrea turn to me and hear what I'm sayin'

And why must you always be kneelin' and prayin'

Though hard as I run

I can't overcome

The things that this city has taken

Cowbells shakin'

Go back to our village awailin' and weepin'

And tell your fat momma the life we've been keepin'

Your head waiter brother won't give me a job

And I've walked these streets till I'm breakin'

Cowbells shakin'

Andrea speak up can't you hear what I'm sayin'

And why must you always be kneelin' and prayin'
