Deacons Lament (Fast Sunday Blues)

I have raised two boys, and I know for a fact that fasting is hard on Deacons. I'm afraid my boys didn't always have a spiritual experience.
I don’t feel so good Mama you know I feel like I could die
I been sitting here thinking and I believe I figured out why
I haven’t had enough to eat and I think I’m gonna cry
My head is pounding
My stomach hurts
You know this is murder
On my growth spurt

They call it fast Sunday but you know it moves so slow
Sitting through Sunday meetings was like watching grass grow
I ain’t had nothing to eat since twenty four hours ago


I’ve sat here on the couch and I’ve reviewed the situation
Not easy to do cause I ain’t got no motivation
I’m just dreaming Mama about the coming gustation
I’m taking it easy
I’m moving slow
Waiting for dinner time
Then watch me go

People tell me fast Sunday blues ain’t so bad
I’m starving to death and they expect me to feel glad
I’m telling you it’s the biggest pain this growing boy’s ever had
