Standard (EADGBE)

The bass keeps stumming this the whole song

 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 be swept away

You've begun to matter more than 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 when they find 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 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

Nazareth's most 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 harm No one alarm

Listen Jesus, do 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

Please remember that I want us to live

But it's sad to see our chances weakening with ev'ry 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 Ah --- ah ah ah --- ah
