Karaoké There but for the Grace of God Go I Machine

Carlos and Carmentita just had a child

A lovely girl with a crooked smile

Now they gotta split 'cos the Bronx ain't fit

For a kid to grow up in

Let's find a place they say somewhere far away

Where only upper class people stay

But for the grace of God

Oh God there go I there go I, ay ay ay ay

There but for the grace of God

Oh God there go I ay ay ay ay oh go I

Papi and their family left the dirty streets

To find a quiet place overseas

And year after year the kid has to hear

The do's and don'ts and the dears

And when she's ten years old she digs that rock n roll

But Papi bags it from the home

But for the grace of God

But for the grace of God, hey there go I of God

There but for the grace of God oh I oh go I of God

It could be me it could be you

There but for the grace of God no it couldn't be oh go I

Finally she turns out to be a natural freak

Gainin' weight and losin sleep

And when she's sweet sixteen

She packs her things and leaves

With a man she met on the street

Carmen starts to bawl with her head to the wall

Too much love is worse than none at all

But for the grace of God there go I of God

Go I go I go I yeah

There but for the grace of God

There but for the grace of God there I go oh go I of God

There I go I yeah yeah yeah yeah

There but for the grace of God

There but for the grace of God oh go I of God oh go go go I

There but for the grace of God

There but for the grace there but for the grace oh go I

There there there there God
