The simple minded and the uninformed

[mac56]

Can be easily led astray
And those that cannot connect the dots
Look the other way
People believe what they want to believe
When it makes no sense at all
So be careful of those killing in Jesus’s name
He don’t believe in killing at all

Walk tall
Yeah, walk on
Walk tall
Through this world
Walk tall

Somewhere out in the distance
Is the death of you and me
Even though we don’t think of it much
It’s still out there for us to see
If you treat life like a ballroom fight
You’ll die stinking of gin
No drunkards are allowed in heaven
No sinners will get in

Walk tall
Yeah, walk on
Walk tall
Through this world
Walk tall

So be careful in what you believe in
There’s plenty to get you confused
And in this land called paradise
You must walk in many men’s shoes
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all
Grace, mercy and forgiveness
Will help a man walk tall

So walk tall

4. I just googled the lyrics.

It says it's a Mellencamp song, but maybe Tosh did the original? I didn't find anything about him.

6. No, I know who Tosh is.

As far as I know, it's a Mellencamp original. I actually remember captioning the video (my job) recently.

7. Sorry, I misunderstood.

First time I ever heard the song was back in the mid to late 70's soemwhere and it was Peter Tosh singing it. The then "John Cougar" was around but I don't remember him being very deep at the time. So, I dunno.

2. Ok

But I just want to know why you are thinking of this so early in the day? "You must walk in many men’s shoes
Bigotry and hatred are enemies to us all" I agree with.

"No drunkards are allowed in heaven
No sinners will get in", I doubt this is true. Besides once you die the sinning stops and so does the drunkeness, so I guess you aren't a sinner or a drinker once it's over.
