(Jesus Jesus, Jesus Christ was born today)
(He's born today)
(hey hey)
[D..D..Down]
(hey hey)
All right
(hey hey)
[D..Dow..down...down]
I'm gonna rap
Downtown, walk around
Looking at the world go by
Got the cash, want to buy crack
In the end it's all a lie
[rhy..rhy..rhythym]
[rhy..rhy..rhy..rhy..rhythm]
Downtown, down and out
Dying in the dead of night
With your special brew your special view
Of a world that could be right
(Glory!) What glory?
(Glory!) In a wine bar world?
(Glory!) in a tenament block?
OK, lets hear it
(Up above, the angels look down
Singing their hosannas shining glory all around
A baby boy into the world he came
You heard the story, you know his name
And the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah
Jesus, Jesus Christ is born today)
[downtown. downtown]
[ neon signs are pretty ]
Downtown, down and out
Dying in the dead of night
With your special brew your special view
Of a world that could be right
(Glory!) Was the field so green?
(Glory!) Why's the family so mean
(Glory!) In Leicester Square
Can you do it to it clean?
(down below we looking up
Singing our songs but they don't mean nuthin'
That baby boy said he's the way
We're all they know makes you fall today
And the people sing
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus what can we do
What can we do?)
[Downtown, things will be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place for sure
Downtown, everything's waiting for you ]
(singing their hosannas shining glory all around
A baby into the world he came
You heard the story, you know his name
And the angels sing
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
Glory, glory, glory hallelujah
Jesus, Jesus Christ what can we do?
What can we do?)
