lyrics

Have you met the man Joseph Jones?
Black man, rides a rundown bike
You might have seen him downtown when you stepped outside

Well I saw him just the other day
In a parking lot just down the way
He said hello, how are you, could you guess my age?
And I thought I don’t know
But by your looks, I’d say not far from the grave

Joseph says do you like my bike
It gets me round most anyplace
I say "Joe are you outdoors?"
He says "I’m on my way back to my place"
But I know, that’s it’s cold
And Joe means just any place

Joseph Jones knows the boys are rough when they play outside when they play outside

I say "Joe, well that’s just swell
Be warm, be fed, be on your way"
I say "Joe, does it warm you up
When I wrap your arms with blanket statements?"

Later on when I’m back at home
And the Lord is sitting by my bed
He says "Hey, do you like my friend?
The inheritor of my kingdom"
And I say Lord surely not
Cuz he looks like hell And he reeks of pot
And he asked for money But I just refused
Cause he’d probably just spend it on booze
But I hope on earth your kingdom come
When I sing this song, your will be done

He said "Look outside on the ground! Behold my kingdom comes!"

Joseph Jones knows the boys are rough when they play outside when they play outside
