Sunday Morning
Can't get no sleep on the courthouse steps
Can't get no sleep on the courthouse steps
Can't get no sleep on the courthouse steps
I can't get no sleep tonight
The people walking by say it's such a mess
The people walking by say it's such a mess
The people walking by say it's such a mess
On the courthouse steps tonight
The people walking by won't look me in the eye
The people walking by won't look me in the eye
The people walking by won't look me in the eye
They're staring at their shoes tonight
They cross the street when they see me
They cross the street when they see me
They cross the street when they see me
They cross the street when they see me on the courthouse steps tonight
You're not like me
I disagree
We could be one and the same
So don't you judge me
If you can't see
My face or hear my name
Can't get no help from the policeman
Can't get no help from the policeman
Can't get no help from the policeman
He says I'm taking you in tonight
Don't you know that it's a crime
Don't you know that you'll do time
Don't you know that it's a crime
To have no where to go
Ain't no justice at the Justice Center
Ain't no justice at the Justice Center
Ain't no justice at the Justice Center
If you're trying to stay warm
Can't get no sleep in the jailhouse bed
Can't get no sleep in the jailhouse bed
Can't get no sleep in the jailhouse bed
Cause it's too crowded tonight
You're not like me
I disagree
We could be one and the same
So don't you judge me
If you can't see
My face or hear my name
Can't get no sleep on the church steps
God's not home till Sunday Morning
Can't get no sleep on the courthouse steps
Can't get no sleep on the courthouse steps
I can't get no sleep tonight
The people walking by say it's such a mess
The people walking by say it's such a mess
The people walking by say it's such a mess
On the courthouse steps tonight
The people walking by won't look me in the eye
The people walking by won't look me in the eye
The people walking by won't look me in the eye
They're staring at their shoes tonight
They cross the street when they see me
They cross the street when they see me
They cross the street when they see me
They cross the street when they see me on the courthouse steps tonight
You're not like me
I disagree
We could be one and the same
So don't you judge me
If you can't see
My face or hear my name
Can't get no help from the policeman
Can't get no help from the policeman
Can't get no help from the policeman
He says I'm taking you in tonight
Don't you know that it's a crime
Don't you know that you'll do time
Don't you know that it's a crime
To have no where to go
Ain't no justice at the Justice Center
Ain't no justice at the Justice Center
Ain't no justice at the Justice Center
If you're trying to stay warm
Can't get no sleep in the jailhouse bed
Can't get no sleep in the jailhouse bed
Can't get no sleep in the jailhouse bed
Cause it's too crowded tonight
You're not like me
I disagree
We could be one and the same
So don't you judge me
If you can't see
My face or hear my name
Can't get no sleep on the church steps
God's not home till Sunday Morning
