Justify You lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well life is hard
A veil of tears
Time moves so slow it goes on for years

Open your palm
You take a beating
Play by the rules, but everybody's cheatin'

Pay your money
You still get fined
You get there early, go back to the line

Seems so hard
So unreal
Well I know, exactly how you feel!

[Chorus]
You got to roll
You'll get through
You got to carry on, the Lord will justify you!

[Verse 2]
Could be a tax man, a mathematician
A holy preacher, or a politician
Working hard or merely going fishin'
You try to be tough but life is still rough
Some days it's Mozart
Or Rock n' Rolla
Fancy French wine or RC Cola

But it doesn't rеally matter what the crazy singer's saying
You got to bе like the drummer and keep on playing

[Chorus]
You've got to roll
You'll get through
You got to carry on
The Lord will justify you!
That's what He does!

[Verse 3]
Sitting in the corner is old Jude Jones
Been there so long he's just skin and bones
I said, "St. Jude what's the secret to life?"
He said, "I live with the angels, but I sleep with a knife."

Lovely Rita with the dark brown eyes
I said, "St. Rita what's the meaning of life?"
She said, "Oh now honey, what can I say? You got to, save your money and learn how to pray."

[Chorus]
You got to roll
You'll get through
You got to carry on
The Lord will justify you!
You got to carry on
The Lord with justify you!
