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've started to believe
The things they say of you.
You really do believe
This talk of God is true.
And all the good you've done
Will soon get swept away.
You've 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 the new Messiah,
And they'll hurt you
If they think they're wrong.
I remember when this
Whole thing began.
No talk of God then
we called you a man.
And 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 chest
Should have suited Jesus best.
He'd have caused nobody harm
no-one alarm.
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 they'll crush us
if 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......
Oh oh oh oh oh. Oh oh oh oh oh!
Jesus, Jesus
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Can't you see that I want us to live
Oh now Jesus
Oh now Jesus
