[00:00:05]  The singers were singing out of tune.
[00:00:08]  The guitar player didn't even have all the strings.
[00:00:12]  And they were singing that old hymn, At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the light.

[00:00:21]  And a tear came down, another tear came down.
[00:00:26]  What gave me the hope to stand with my homeboys?
