Lyrics:
Where the winds of change were blowing
There lived a God-fearing man
He was turning through his Bible, when he came up with a plan
He painted up a sign and held it high above his head
Waived it proudly in the air and this is what it read
You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules
They keep things safe here for everyone
The Sinners, Saints and Fools
To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made
To the weary desperate souls who washed up on the sand
He said we haven’t seen your paperwork and he withdrew his hand
You know he never felt any safer or the peace he hoped he’d find
And up until the day he died, he never changed his mind
You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules
We gotta keep things safe here for everyone
The Sinners, Saints and Fools
To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made
By the time he got to heaven it was surrounded by a wall
The pearly gates were locked up tight the golden chains and all
They said we cannot let just anyone walk in here anymore
You didn’t do it by the book and then they pointed to the floor
You can’t break the law, there are reasons for the rules
They keep things safe here for everyone
You Sinners, Saints and Fools
To the poor and huddled masses who are hungry and afraid
You gotta do it by the book and there’ll be no exceptions made

I've been listening to Brandi since 2010. Her music means so much to me, especially as a queer ex-Christian/recovering Baptist. I'm so excited for this new recording. I love all her music so much, but the most recent album didn't quite feel like Brandi to me. This, however, sounds very Brandi.

Since 2005 for me. And I agree👌🏻!

When she sings like she’s unrestricted and lets it all go - Like she’s live including this new CD is awesome. She’s very amazing and I’ll tell you why most artists I would say 98% or more of artists sound better on their original studio CD and then when they go on tour live & they suck. Very few artists sound better live like this and when she’s live, than the original studio recording that is very very very rare. I’ve been to many different concerts of all genres, and they sound nothing like their original CD, which I loved - but they suck in concert live. Brandi seems to be getting better & better at feeling more confident and leads to her letting go- and kicking ass in her live shows (or Live CD’s) Recording studios are just restricted period- they all are- there’s literally NO ROOM to let go- It’s not her fault it’s not anyone’s- they just restrict you. I can tell easily that she loves playing, live versus recording in the studio - Not everybody does most artists love the safety of the recording studio- And it shows in their poor live shows. PPL LOVING ARTISTS LIVE SHOWS IS WHERE ITS ALL AT- AND WHEN PPL PREFER ARTISTS LIVE OVER STUDIO RECORDINGS- IN MY 52 YEARS OF LISTENING TO EVERY MUSIC BAND - LIVE AND STUDIO- THEY HAVE REACHED A PENTACLE THAT MANY ARTISTS DON’T. Brandi is better Live-P!nk is better Live- Garth Brooks is Better Live-etc. IMO- when artists are better LIVE- that’s the Ultimate God Given GIFT.

I just learned of her this year and saw her in Mass. a few months back. I can't stop listening to her music. The Indigo Girls played then too. I saw them a dozen years ago. Besides both performers being out of this world, so was the audience. I met so many sweet and beautifully friendly folks there. Two gals next to me told me everything about Brandi as they were from Washington and had seen her just starting out at coffee houses. Another couple saw Brandi on a "Music Cruise" in 2015 and have been following her since. They drove 2 plus hours to this show from NYC. Go see her., brother,
