My mind is clear now,
at last, all too well
I can see where we are, soon we'll 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 said of you
You really do believe
this talk of God is true
A lot of good you've done
will soon get swept away
You've become a man of more
than the things you say
Listen Jesus, I don't like what I see
All I ask is that you listen to me
An d remember I've been your
right -hand man all along
You set them all on fire
They think they've
found a new messiah
And they hurt you when they
find they're wrong
I remember when this whole thing began
The tongue of God then
recalled you're a man
An d believe me,
my ad miration for you hasn't died
But every word you say today
Gets twisted round some other way
And he'll hurt you if he thinks
you're a liar
Nazareth, your famous son,
should've stayed a great un known
Like his father Calvin,
what he'd have made good
Tables, chairs,
and open chests
would've suited Jesus
But he'd have caused nobody harm,
no one around
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 no precious thing
could go too far,
could 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
We could do it all again
Too much heaven on their minds
It was beautiful, but now it's sour
Yes, it's all gone sour
Come on, Jesus,
won't you listen to me, Jesus?
