Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 the things you say

[Verse 3]

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 when they find they're wrong

[Verse 4]

I remember when this whole thing began

No talk of God then we called you a man

And believe me my admiration for you hasn't died

But every word you say today

Gets twisted round some other way

And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied

[Verse 5]

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 would have suited Jesus best

He'd have caused nobody's harm, no one alarm

[Verse 6]

Listen Jesus do you care for your race?

Can't you see we must keep in our place?

We are occupied have you forgotten how far 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

[Verse 7]

Listen Jesus to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour

All of your followers are blind

Too much heaven on their minds

It was beautiful but now it's sour

Yes it's all gone sour

[Verse 8]

Listen Jesus to the warning I give

Please remember that I want us to live

Come on, come on please listen to me now

It's all gone

Sour
