Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They got sisters and brothers, fighting against one another
They got dreams and schemes and build war machines
To try to outdo each other
We got children that are starving but that don't bother them
They're much too busy getting rich to worry about our little children
[Verse 2]
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
[Verse 3]
They got satellites and spaceships flyin' 'cross the universe
They killed before and they'll kill again just so they can say they're first
They built monuments and churches and things I ain't seen yet
And they've signed 'em all with their autograph
In case you might forget
[Verse 4]
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
[Verse 5]
And Lord, when it's all over, they'll think you should be proud
And there'll be a few who offer you anything for your job
So when you take me, Jesus, please put me among friends
Don't put me back with these power crazy money lovers again
[Verse 6]
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
[Verse 7]
Yeah, save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
Yeah, save me, Jesus, oh, save me, Jesus
Oh, save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
[Verse 8]
And Jesus, oh, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
Oh, save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
[Verse 9]
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
[Verse 10]
Save me, Jesus, save me, Jesus
Save me, Jesus, Jesus, save me from this God forsaken place
