The Words in Red

He heft a leather bound Bible up with two hands
 Then he slammed it down over my head
 Now he can tell you about the sins of man
 But he must of skipped over the words in red
 Love your brothers and your sisters, take care of each other
 Love your enemies as well as your friends
 Tend the poor and the sick and the ones in jail
 Give away your wealth, say the words in red
 Blessed are the meek, they'll inherit the earth
 Blessed are the wine and bread
 Blessed are those that hunger and thirst
 Blessed are the words in red
 Words in red, words in red
 These are the words that Jesus said
 The words that Jesus told
 Worth the wait in the world of gold
 Now, he's a sinner-huntin' preacher in the red light zone
 At least that's what the papers said
 The finger pointing fools are the first to go
 And turn their back on the words in red
 You can call it myth or a church man's dream
 You can damn it all from A to zed
 You can bury it deep, you can sell it out cheap
 But you can never lose the words in red
 Words in red, words in red
 These are the words that Jesus said
 The words that Jesus told
 Worth the weight of the world of gold
