Lyrics
THE GREAT JUDGMENT words & music Lenny Solomon
© L. Solomon 2004
People working all their lives, want some peace and a piece of the pie
Business blunders, it goes belly up, bosses are paid, but your pension's bankrupt
The Left is right, Right has left, the words and spirit of the covenant
Do to others as you would to yourself, gathers dust on a broken shelf
You pick your values carefully, save yourself but you forget the sea, of people
Left is right, the Right has left, soon will be seen at Great judgment
Homeless living on the street, they beg for bread, something to eat
You wish they'd work, they bring you down, you wish they'd run'em outta town
The Left is right, Right has left, the words and spirit of the covenant
Do to others as you would to yourself, gathers dust on a forgotten shelf
Pick your values, carefully, you save yourself but you forget the sea, of people
Left is right, the Right has left, soon will be seen at Great judgment
They say Christ died for your sins, so why don't you really, just let him in
Heal the sick, feed the poor, maybe you'll still make through heaven's door
The Left is right, Right has left, the words and spirit of the covenant
Do to others as you would to yourself, gathers dust on a forgotten shelf
Pick your values, carefully, you save yourself but you forget the sea, of people
Left is right, the Right has left, soon will be seen at Great judgment
