Ballad Of Jim Jones Lyrics

Ballad Of Jim Jones lyrics

I walked from New York and back from L.A. 

I lived on a mountain and once by the bay 

I bought an apartment and slept in the hay 

but there's no place that's softer than (your arms) 



living today is just getting so bad 

there's a look on your face 

and it says"you've been had!" 

you can take all my money 

but don't make me mad 

cause there's nobody meaner than (me) 



I prayed to Buddha, to Allah, and Jim. 

I turned to Jesus and stayed there with him 

I fell in deep but I learned how to swim 

now there's no one who's cleaner than me or than him
