My mind is clearer now
 At last, all too well
 l can see
 Where we all soon will be
 lf 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 [bad word] 
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
 l don't like what l see
 All l ask is that you listen to me
 And remember
 l've been your right-hand man all along
 But 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

l 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
Just gets twisted 'round some other way
And they'll hurt you 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?
Can't you see
we must keep in our place?
We are occupied
Have you forgotten how far down we are?
l am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
They will [bad word] us if we go too far
lf we go too far

 Listen, Jesus, to the warning l give
 Please remember that l want us to live
 But it's sad to see our chances
 Weakening with every hour
 All of your followers are blind
 They've 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 l give
Please remember that l want us to [bad word] on [bad word] on
He won't listen to me, oh
So, it's all
Gone
Sour
