KEITH ANDERSON LYRICS - The Clothes Don't Make The Man

"The Clothes Don't Make The Man"



My brother's got a black an' white picture

With numbers 'cross his chest

An' he'll do 15 years if his behavior stays at it's best

He took the blame to save his best friends name

When a job that went bad down in Birmingham

Yeah, but he don't mind that orange suit cause he knows that clothes don't make the man



Two cells down from where my brother lays his head

The walls that go Amazing Grace an' quotes of scriptures that man once read

When he prayed upon the little souls of all those boys that did not understand

But you can wear a robe that's laced with gold

But The Clothes Don't Make The Man



Designer names

Rips and stains

Shouldn't tell you who I am

Cause sometimes angels hid their wings

An' the Devil's dressed like a lamb

Yeah, The Clothes Don't Make The Man



They all laughed an called him names when he said that he was sent to be their king

You don't even own a home

You've got simple clothes an' sandals on your feet

Stripped of his pride

He was crucified

On a cross with nails of haterd in his hands

But he rose from the grave in 3 days

Yeah, The Clothes Don't Make The Man



Designer names

Rips and stains

Shouldn't tell you who I am

Cause sometimes angels hid their wings

An' the Devil's dressed like a lamb

Yeah, The Clothes Don't Make The Man



Designer names

Rips and stains

Shouldn't tell you who I am

Cause sometimes angels hid their wings

An' the Devil's dressed like a lamb

Yeah, The Clothes Don't Make The Man



They don't make the man

They don't make the man

They don't make the man

Woo...

Yeah...

Whoa, don't make the man

Don't make the man, yeah

Ohh...

Yeah-eahh...
