My mind is clearer now
At last all too well
I can see where we all soon will be
If you strip away the myth from the man
You will see where we all soon will be
Jesus
You started to believe the things they say of you
You really do believe this talk of god is true
Oh
And all the good you've done will soon get swept away
You begun to matter more than all the things you say
Listen jesus I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
And remember I've been your right hand man
All along you have set them all on fire
They think they've found their new desire
And they'll hurt you if they think they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
No talk of god and they called you a man
You can believe me
My admiration for you has not died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted round some other way
And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied
Nazareth your famous son should have stayed
A great unknown like his father
Carving wood he'd have made good tables
Chairs and oaken chests should have suited
Jesus best he'd have caused
Nobody harm no one alarmed
Listen jesus don't you care for your race
Don't you see we must keep in our place we are occupied
Have you forgotten how put down we are
I am frightened by the
Crowd for we are getting much too loud
And precious is we go too far
If we go too far
Listen jesus to the warning I give
Don't you know that I want us to live
But it's sad to see our chances weakening
With every hour
All your followers are blind
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful but now it's sour
Yes it's all gone sour
Jesus jesus
Listen jesus to the warning I give up
Can't you see that I want us to live
Oh my jesus
Oh my jesus
Jesus oh
Jesus jesus
Listen jesus to the warning I give
