Lyrics

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 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 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 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 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
 Listen Jesus to the warning I give
 Please remember that I want us to live
 So c'mon, c'mon, he won't listen to me
 ♪
 C'mon, listen, listen to me
 C'mon and listen to me...
