123 Jeremiah preached repentance
124 To those that would turn from hell
125 But the critics all gave him such bad reviews

128 As the people were put into chains
130 or shatter any bottles of champagne.
131 Yonder comes sin

147 High cost of survival
148 Gets a little higher than you expect
149 When you're trying to get along with your enemies
150 And still maintain your self-respect
151 As a child you knew all there was to know
152 It just couldn't get expressed
153 Now it scares me to see what you accept as good
154 At one you wouldn't have settled forless than the best
155 Yonder comes sin

164 So masculine, so feminine
165 Yonder comes sin
166 </pre>
169 You turn your back on the hard truth
170 Just to fatten up your purse
171 Sings of an unrighteous world
172 Dare the same thing as a curse

175 In order to possess that corruptible crown
176 Gotta make a deal with Mr Death

191 There's a place down in your soul
192 Where the law can never touch
193 You do most likely what you please
194 And not think about too much
195 I'll be down the line when morning comes
196 And that I pulled the hood up for you
197 So that you could see real good your uninvited guest
