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 can 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 that the things you say

Dm                     F
Listen, Jesus, I don't like what I see

Dm                    G
All I ask is that you listen to me

Bb           C                              F         A7
And remember, I've been your right-hand man all along

         Dm                   Bb                    F
You have set them all on fire,   they think they've found the new messiah
 
            Dm                 C            Bb        Dm
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

<Bridge>
Bb             F          Gm                   Dm
Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown

Bb              Dm            A7             Dm
Like his father carving wood, he'd have made good

Bb                 F            Gm                Dm 
Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best

Bb                 Dm        A7        Dm
He'd have caused nobody harm,  no one alarm


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 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
 
<repeat bridge chords>

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
C         Dm  C    Bb     C  
Yes, it's all gone sour

Repeat Dm C Bb C  ad lib
