Clothes Dont Make The Man Tab

My brother's got a black an' white picture
                                
With numbers 'cross his chest
                                                               
An' he'll do 15 more years if his behavior stays at it's best
                     
He took the blame to save his best friends name
                                              
  In 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 hide 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 hatred in his hands
                                      
But he rose from the grave in 3 days
                                              
Yeah, The Clothes Don't Make The Man
