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

Table chairs and oaken chests
Would have suited Jesus best
He’d 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
Yeah Jesus, yes it’s all gone sour

Listen Jesus to the warning I give
Can't you hear me out fully
Come on, come on, listen to me
Why don't you listen to me?
