It was beautiful but now it’s sour
He’d have made good
But it’s sad to see our chances
You have set them all on fire
And all the good You’ve done
No talk of God then, we called You a man
Too much Heaven on their minds
Have You forgotten how put down we are?
Please remember that I want us to live
All I ask is that you listen to me
If they think You’ve lied
You’ve begun to matter more
Than the things You say
Weakening with every hour
My admiration for You hasn’t died
Should have stayed a great unknown
I’ve been Your right hand man all along
For we are getting much too loud
Jesus, You’ve started to believe
Would have suited Jesus best
He’d caused nobody harm
Can't you hear me out fully
And believe me
And remember
All Your followers are blind
Listen Jesus, I don’t like what I see
We are occupied
Like his father carving wood
Come on, come on, listen to me
No-one alarm
The things they say of You
I remember when this whole thing began
Listen Jesus, to the warning I give
And they’ll hurt You
Will soon get swept away
Yes it’s all gone sour
You really do believe
Yeah Jesus, yes it’s all gone sour
Listen Jesus to the warning I give
I am frightened by the crowd
If you strip away the myth from the man
Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
They think they’ve found the new Messiah
Nazareth, Your famous son
This talk of God is true
Gets twisted 'round some other way
Table chairs and oaken chests
But every word You say today
You will see where we all soon will be
If we go too far
When they find they’re wrong
Don’t you see we must keep in our place?
And they’ll hurt
And they’ll crush us if we go too far
