"Oh honey let me tell you, in nineteen thirty fo',
We didn't have no big cameras.
Only big church doors.
There weren't no loud films or video tapes.
There was only the black preacher,
Shoutin good ole grace.
We didn't waste our precious time starin at no screen
We only had those pretty windows of Jesus
Lookin sad and healing the unclean.
There weren't no pop songs sung by plastic lookin people,
There was only gospel singin
About the blood, the cross, and the steeple.
Youngin let me tell you, these is sneaky times.
Don't let that devil getch you
While you still in yo' prime."
